<p>[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 40011, member: 51"]Is this a pitcher, or a cocoa pot or something like that? 6" tall. What would I call it? I realize it has a few issues, top seems to have a missing or broken lever and has a lot of crazing. It was day two of an estate sale, and they had it marked as $7, but I pointed out the handle and they said, "You can have it for $4."</p><p><br /></p><p>Was not really thinking resale on this, I love birds, and thought I'd keep it for a while just decoratively. There is an additional question I will post at the end. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]10059[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]10060[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]10061[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]10062[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the final question: </p><p><br /></p><p>The company running the estate sale priced everything with marker, I've seen this before, but when I checked out, I said, "Are you sure this price marking is going to come off?"
