    This little piece is about 3" across. The top of the basket is glazed, the mouse and the bottom of the basket are unglazed. I can't see any marks. The quality seems pretty good to me. Is there a maker known for this kind of thing?

    It's very sweet - I like the combination glaze/no glaze - but couldn't find anything (just visual search)

    I wish it was one of these! but it's not :(

    We worked on a house in December - I was alone on the 5th afternoon/evening and this little mouse just walked up to me... I have to wonder if he wasn't a little blind (he had an elliptical pattern of walking) - he came out everyday after that, we gave him a cracker or some little scrap and he booked it back into the hall closet. The people we were helping downsize had never seen him! when it got loud, he took off. :(
