The other one I like too & I got it for only $8 because it has a small chip in it which you can't even see except for my camera shot of it, other than that it isn't visible. There is another old man scuttle on eBay with a Dubl Duck Dwarf & Brush for $200 bin & I think that is way too much money! I paid more than $8 for mine but it wasn't much more. I'm content, I don't need anymore.

My camera is 7 years old & takes excellent pics. It is 8mp & a Canon Elph PowerShot SD 850 IS. My iPhone is an iPhone 6 plus & it shoots 8mp photo's also & excellent ones at that!!!!!! I got some really good pics with me & my mom yesterday with my phone.

You only need 2Mp for that, anything higher let's you zoom in further after the fact

tintin~You bet!
It seems they had a few potters in Staffordshire, England around that time. They are old. The one I call Geezer says a name (can't make it out) with "Painted Fine Staffordshire Earthenware, England". It also appears to have an Indian with a feather on his head-I think.........might be another image.
The Blue one says James Kent, Old Foley, Staffordshire, Made in England, 18th Century Chintz.

Trevor, I can't help the mp of my camera, that's just modern technology & I intentionally showed the chip because when looking at it w/o a camera, it isn't noticeable. I know you understand because we have pm'd so many times!
