A Truly True Haunted Monstrosity?

Oh my lord, WHAT ..........


........ fresh charity shop hell is this? 


An extremely wan and faint looking Darrell returned from browsing our usually charity shop of choice, Vale Wildlife, saying that he'd born witness to something that he fears he will never ever be able to eradicate from his poor tormented soul. 


A lustre ware pot (made in Italy from the stamp on the bottom) of some kind (you just about see the turquoise just behind) with a pig, in a top hat, clashing a pair of cymbals, attached to the front, for which they were asking, unbelievably, £5?  He said he was now afraid that he will never unsee it!  If it had been between 50p and £1.00 he would have bought it, if only to rid it from the world!


He also half wished that he'd had the where-withal to Google Lens it, just to find more out about it and why it had been priced/prized so highly. Questions really do need to be asked in Parliament with this one!  What is he and "it" like?

Good grief. I hope Darrell won't need some sort of counselling.

Will someone decide that it is so bad, that it is good? And it would make an interesting conversation piece?
