[QUOTE="MahlonBlaine, post: 542561, member: 9862"]My name here on the site is MahlonBlaine as befits my status as a collector of his works, but I could have also been [URL='http://www.rumphcollector.com']RumphCollector[/URL] as I run that website and collect the works of Jim Rumph. The following is a rare as hens teeth Jester Jar designed by Rumph for his pottery studio The Mind Circus.
