The Flame Haired Solstice Dreamer

Cold winter brings the Everfrost and jewels every tree
In a forest new as birth and old as old can be
A flame~haired dreamer wanders there and shelters from the wind
And spins her dreams around the trees to break the ties that bind
She takes her thread and spins anew and how the Greenwood smiles
As she spins a spell for freedom and for her spirit Wylde

The dreamer finds an ancient oak and shelters in his lee
In a forest new as birth and old as old can be
Tis summer now and birdsong weaves its magick through her spells
And humming bees drum drowsily in the foxglove's bells
The dreamer sits beneath the oak with yarn upon her knee
And spins and knits and weaves her dreams and sets her spirit free

Hi lee!

success! (with help from my mum!) From the photographs we strongly believe your pot is made by Taylor Tunnicliffe & co. of Hanley in Staffs. earthenwares and porcelain were made from 1868 with 'usefulwares' only made from 1898. this mark was used between these dates with the crown above only from 1875 to 1898 .so this must have been made right on the later date as its classed as 'useful ware'. So 1898. Its possible use, with its lid that seals tightly, was as a tobacco jar. Tobacco needed to be kept slighlty moist and the air dried it out so jars with well fitting lids were fairly widely produced. AN odd question, but have you sniffed inside the jar? a feint odour may linger to give you a clue to use?

All things share the same breath~the beast, the tree, the man, the air shares its spirit with all the life it supports.
