From Italy
In Milan, looking for a gift for a friend who has a small apartment, I find a store on an appropriately tiny street.
It sells doll house accessories.
There are minute bowls of eggs, plates of pasta, and an a selection of meats and cheeses.
I ask the woman if I can see the provolone, and she says “Smoked or regular?”.
Smoked provolone 5/8 inch tall.
Salami 11/16 inch long plus the separate slices.
From Montana
A porcelain pretzel flask.
Germany circa 1900.
For sneaky drinkers.
The second of two that I found in Montana.
The first one was in a junk store in Butte, but the store was closed.
This one a year later in a similar store in Bozeman, which was open.
5 1/2 x 3 1/2 x 3/4 inches thick.
