A miscellany of different shapes for today's theme on Sunday Stamps: Shaped.
Maybe it is difficult to perceive this is not a square...

I have always appreciated the round stamps like these:
African Daisy USA, 2022 |
Chrysanthemum (First Day of Issue Pictorial Postmark) USA, 2020 |
Blocking - European Volleyball Championship Poland 2017 |
And this is an original shape, isn't it?

Japan really likes their shaped stamps, I've found. Those round flower stamps are really nice - and you got a special pictorial as well :)
ReplyDeleteThere is something amusing about having a nose extending beyond the square stamp.
Like they want to swim further...
DeleteThe Dinosaur set was one of my favourites, can't contain one within a square:). You are right the Japan stamp shape is unique, nice to think some Japanese techniques for firing pottery are too.
ReplyDeleteIt's a fine art stamp.
DeleteLovely Japanese stamps.
