Featured Small pitcher with added surprise

I bought this small 6" pitcher from a thrift store yesterday.
After I got it home, I noticed a mysterious dark lump inside.
Upon closer inspection with a flashlight, it turns out to be a petrified mouse. Yikes!
He won't fit through the neck, so I can't get him out.

 

lol : re-donate

 

Oh dear, eeek!
This is a first here I think. Good luck I have no advice.

 

Pour some liquid in to soften her up, put a bit of lube around the neck, and then... JOKING!

 

I thought of this!
Not sure I like the pitcher that much!

 

I found a small black widow living in a larger vase not long ago,
from Goodwill.
Two years ago we got a moth infestation from a Navajo rug.
No more rugs!!!
You never know what gross thing you might bring home.
We junk collectors live on the edge!

 

Dehydrate a , put it in and wait
Or... Crush the fossilized mouse to powder and wash thoroughly before ending the process with VODKA

 

Call the undertaker. That is all I got.

 

Lapidary saw

Ceramic glue

 

Sell on eBay as 'haunted jug', possibly holding the remains of celebrity mouse 'Jerry', his apparition said to have been seen by some...

It is a nice pitcher, stracci.

If it is petrified mouse like this:



just tell it it is all right, you are a gentle person and it won't have to be scared anymore. Then try to coax it out with some cheese.

If it is more like the one below, sell it to a Museum of Antiquities.

 

Find a cork and resell!

 

I bought one of those huge 19th century sugar bowls in coin silver at an estate sale. Lid was stuck. When I got it home and managed to get the lid off I found it was filled with ashes. Took me a few minutes to realize it was being used as a cremation urn! I hoped it was for a pet, but was never sure that it wasn't for grandma. After driving around with it in my car for a while, I finally took it to a cemetery so I could scatter the ashes without feeling too guilty.

Before you donate this pitcher, can I ask whether there is any writing on the bottom and if so to take a pic of it? I have a similar pitcher that I've been hanging onto solely because there is writing on the bottom that I can't read. I can really only see that there are two words, and one of them starts or ends with an 'X'. Which leaves me clueless. I guess I'll start a new thread instead of cluttering up this one if I can get pics that show anything.

 

Oh, that is gross. Here's one for you. My Mom bought an adorable sugar bowl which she couldn't get the lid off. I took the sugar bowl and put it very warm soapy water. I saw the lid had come lose so I put my hands in the water to wash the bowl and came up with false teeth. Scared the heck out of me.

 

This thread is a hoot!!

 

I vote for anything that doesn't include "hydrating" it back up! AGGGH! Grodie! I guess if it were me - I'd attempt to break it up into some big chunks and dump it out. THEN disinfect the pitcher!

Hi,
When I was kid about 6 years old.I was digging in my gramps closet. There was a shopping bag hanging in the back, As I tried to move it it ripped a tear. Out fell over 30 dentures cascading down on top of my head. It seems that my gramp dug graves at a local church many years before.
When he found bodies that were not marked with a stone. he would gather up the bones and what ever was left and buried them at the edge of the grave yard. I never asked why he saved the teeth. I still get the chills once in a while when I relive that accident.

Believe it or not. People buy dentures on ebay.
