Wooden object, possibly letter-opener (1 ½" x 11"), undated
Scope and Contents
The Eva McKee art works consist of block-printed cards and sketches of jewelry designs, as well as examples of her craftwork on leather, wood, ceramics, and metal. Items include a wallet, a purse, two small dishes, a pin, a letter opener, and a deck of playing cards. All the materials demonstrate McKee's use of Celtic Revivial motifs in a distinctly Irish Arts and Crafts style. In addition to McKee's design work, there are a few photographs of her, including one with her business partner and fellow craftswoman Eveline McCloy.
