“I fell under the spell of the wheel, loving the physical beauty of the moves required to form clay and the sense of peace that came from throwing. Function has always been the thing that made it work for me. That and the people who take the pieces into their lives and make it all relevant. Should this lump of clay become a vessel and Should it dry without crack, Fire without flaw and Serve without breaking, Then may it claim For its maker A tiny bit of immortality.” – Deanna Nichols, 2008.

Vintage Richard Rothbard Zebrawood Puzzle Jewelry Box
Striking zebrawood puzzle jewelry box by Richard Rothbard (circa 1970s New Jersey, USA).

However, upon sliding out the corner piece and opening the top, many additional components and compartments are revealed. This piece is a marvel, ingeniously designed to be both practical and entertaining.
Excellent, vintage condition free of flaws. Retains the interior burgundy felt lining.
Artist signed to the underside.
