<p>[QUOTE="Aquitaine, post: 2732468, member: 602"]After NEARLY having a heart attack when my computer screen said I was OUTBID while my screen was showing I was the HIGH BIDDER, and had been constantly refreshing my screen so I didn't lose what I wanted with an ONLINE auction....end result was I DID win!! But I kept getting messages that I had to increase my bid, etc, etc, etc.....I was up to $100....but they said (eventually) that I won it at $86.00!!! Oy Vei!!!! So It's 2 items, but I was only after the calendar with the Clipper Ship "Flying Cloud" on one side!!! I have an older small pitcher with same on it and another sea chest with same carved into the front of it (although I AM dubious as to the age of the carving!!) Nonetheless, I WANTED that calendar....AND GOT IT!!!! HOWEVER, it came with another tile that I'm NOT interested in and know nothing about.....ERGO, here I am seeking help from my knowledgeable friends!!!! First a pic of both, then the tile that someone made into a trivet.....it seems to be full of cracks....says on the back "MINTONS CHINA WORKS, STOKE ON TRENT". Anything you can tell me about it will be most helpful!! <u>IS THE SCENE FAMILIAR TO ANYONE???? </u> IS it worth ANYTHING in it's condition?? AS ALWAYS, MANY THANKS for any and all help!!!! BTW, I do have closer-ups of the trivet/tile if needed. I don't have these in hand yet....probably later in the week!!</p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="color: #ff0000"><u>EDIT:</u> <span style="color: #000000">I REMOVED THE SMALLER HAND HELD IMAGE AS IT IS FROM</span></span></b></p><p><b><span style="color: #ff0000"><span style="color: #000000">THE CALENDAR!!!
