    I keep on picking up this 7 inch vase, but for some reason I've got a mental block on this guy.

    Anyone know who he is?

    Vase was found in Cardiff, Wales, making a European figure more likely than a US man despite the likeness to Garfield and Lee. This wont be the only such vase in existence so for proof I guess another vase needs to be found with the same image and attributed. The glue residues to the base possibly indicate it was once on a named plinth.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Since rhiwfield lives in England, I wonder whether it's somebody British? But I know these things travel all over the world.

    England was a southern sympathizer so it wouldn't be that odd for a Gen. Lee image finding its way over there.
