[QUOTE="MML, post: 407394, member: 7112"][ATTACH=full]141912[/ATTACH] I picked up this owl figurine recently and tried to find some information online about it. I also remember seeing a few days ago in another thread, a little pottery pitcher that had a similar texture, but was still unsolved.

I suppose I will have to bother those good people from "Antiquers" again, I thought. I sighed as I looked down at the owl which I had laid on my lap, and what do I see.......STAN. I know :rolleyes:, I know. Now I search, "pottery owl Stan" and look what pops up.:wideyed: And there is that little pitcher from this thread below.
