<p>[QUOTE="ValerieK, post: 4427537, member: 7360"]This is in a small lot of modern European items which I will be bidding on at auction. I would like guidance on whether it has any value, so I will have an idea how high to bid. It appears to be carved wood, and it is very light so possibly hollow, although I don't know how that could be done. (The white handle on the left is from a large tankard in the same lot.) It is odd that there is a little face at the top, but it's been obscured by the black paint. I think it is about 10 inches high. I don't know whether it is just a quirky tourist piece or a known artist's work. The base is nicely inscribed but I can't make out the name, which looks like G Rinl or G Rind (which brings up a lot of trendy coffee bars!), or maybe G Rina. Has anyone seen anything like this? Do you think I should factor in some money for it in my bid, or just regard it as a bit of fun? Any thoughts welcome![ATTACH=full]378688[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]378700[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
