Fancy Tulip on Paper Lace, Lovely Monogrammed Watercolor on Embossed Card, c. 1840s, Boston swing lid What I most love about

What I most love about punch paper embroideries is that they almost always incorporate text

with a bit of exposed wood at the tip of one ear

with new paper/card cut to line the compartments

but I have looked and looked but not been able to find another vase like this
