Book Board Chat

I have two of the hippos; one that was Mom's and one sent me by a very dear friend in our secret santa party one year in the old Book Board. It has not attracted any attention, and it really should; they're tough to find now. I remember in New York I even found a couple of the canopic jars (the Egyptians would, when embalming their ruler or important personage, remove the organs and those were placed in a covered jar to be entombed with the mummy when it was time for burial. Those also had that blue faience glaze, and I should not have sold them....they were cool. But what did I know? lol Mom had a Lisa Larson cat with the stickers and markings intact, and I sold it last year for about $400. It had that flat face and a fairly nondescript glaze, but...Scandinavian pottery is pretty desirable. I see that the Italian stuff goes pretty high if it's Mid Century Modern, which seems to be "hot" right now.
