    Got to say I would have picked that guy, too! What personality.

    @Lark Maybe start a thread in pottery and see if anyone has ideas!

    Was trying to decide my favorite from last year. In general I am purchasing for resale, but once in a while keep things.

    For whatever reason this particular piece really tickled me. It was in a group of hobnail glass pieces I purchased at an estate sale, knowing nothing except that they were so interesting looking and the former owner was a collector so items were in pristine condition and things were priced very well.

    @Rclinftl ID'd it for me. I couldn't believe this was as old as it was! Couldn't let this one go.

    Certainly there were finds of greater monetary value, but I couldn't believe this flamboyant looking PINK piece was that old! I have it on my dresser.

    The bottom stone is certainly blood jasper, most usually used for these stamp seals then.

    I had some great finds this year, but these, all 14k, bought from a scrapper, made my heart sing!

    Yes it is! Blood stone/jasper was my second guess actually but I don’t have any blood streaks so wasn’t sure. Thanks
