Hand painted with no paint on brush? With smudges... :(
The hand painted wording looks light in places, as well as smeared in places... it makes me want to go over it, but I don't want to mess it up. I don't know if the all the corners were chipped during shipping; although it doesn't appear to be freshly done. Perhaps if the sign would have been wrapped in the newspaper (rather than newspaper just shoved in the boxes to prevent movement) it would have been more sensible. I LOVE anything Viking, it is part of my family heritage. The design is awesome, it just appears (to me) that this was a "rushed" creation.<br /><br />Seller also told me via email that he would include a smaller duplicate version for my unexpected lack of delivery the first time I ordered in March, when my order was swept under a desk.... I had requested the refund through Amazon, which I received. So, I reordered the same product, but the seller did not send me a smaller version for my trouble of not receiving first one as expected. Then, I got this....
