[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 4402758, member: 84"]I found this today at a thrift store. It was interesting to me in a few ways: The size (and girth - it has a Bottero-esque shape to me!) & the black & red colors - and the bottom (especially the feet which are rounded) which have no openings like I usually see? And - there is a hole in the back where you'd assume a tail went, except it has a stubby tail - what was the hole for (photos 7 & 8)? PS - The first 2 photos were taken in the shade & the rest in direct sunshine. It measures 14"W x 15"H x 7"D Is this old? Is it anything special or just decorative? What should I call it; antique? mid century? oriental style? Thank you for any help with it - I don't know if I hit a home run or just found another factory piece!
