Did you turn it over and see if there was a makers mark.
Ceramics are art and if made by a famous maker can have
value to those that value such thing. My Mom's cookie jar
cost her $5 and I would give a lot more than that to have one
like it in my kitchen. The memory of her baking cookies still
makes me happy.
One final comment. We do not do appraisals here. Discussing
price can get a post deleted and the thread locked.
EDIT: never saw one like it before this.. Might be rare
but I do not follow such things.
I couldnt get to it, and I know that we dont discuss price here I truly wasnt lookin to get its value in dollars. I just could not understand why they werre selling it for $440.00?
That scuttle freaks me out! Is she being hanged?
Some sell for thousands.Quote:

Someone must really be into scuttle to spend that kinda cash!
I did a google search using "the hag" and "scuttle". One of the top results was a website where that scuttle model was being auctioned off. That site has a lot of unique and cool, IMHO, shaving items.
Anyone interested in a thread with a link to the site in the auctions section?
