THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL PIECE AND HIGHLY UNUSUAL. I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING CLOSE ANYWHERE. WHAT ATTRACTED ME MOST TO IT WAS THE UNUSUAL COLORS AND THE DEFINITION OF THE MOUTHS OF THE FOO DOGS. YOU CAN SEE THEIR LITTLE TEETH AND THEIR FANGS ALONG WITH THEIR TONGUES, VERY HIGHLY DETAILED. SHOWS SIGNS OF LIGHT CRAZING THROUGHOUT THE PIECE. THERE IS A SMALL CHIP AT THE TOP RIM AND ANOTHER ONE NEAR THE BOTTOM WHICH i CAN REPAIR WITH EASE. NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THIS PIECE IS OR ITS VALUE I HAVE CONSULTED SEVERAL SUPPOSED EXPERTS TO NO AVAIL MAYBE SOMEONE HERE WILL HAVE A CLUE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IT'S ORIGIN, VALUE, ETC. MAY BE INTERESTED IN SELLING FOR THE RIGHT PRICE

The novel is an original #250 and has a picture of William Pilling along with information of his death. Which as of this date is unknown. I have an original article containing information of when and where he passed away.
