Description

This was donated to me for church auction by people in their 90's who acquired this through their worldly travels. It weighs about a pound and a half and measures 8 and 3/8ths inches tall. The top diameter is 1 and 7/8ths inches, and the bottom is 2 and 2/8ths inches. The surface is smooth but has some slight, smooth indentations and all kinds of different colors from wear/patina. The fish has a cute look on his face and the markings on the bottom are interesting.
