you need an expert in Talavera pottery. There's a somewhat similar one for sale on ebay for $900. Great find!

Often the families donate items that were the hospice patients' to the store.

Found a piece of Sasha Brastoff pottery there for a couple bucks that I sold for $300 on Ebay.

Found a mid-century "mushroom" lamp for $10 and sold it on Craigslist for $250.

This is unlike anything I've seen, tho.

guarding the hen house (antique dealers "volunteering" and getting first dibs). Every so often I find something, but you have to know about the most obscure potters, painters, etc. Every so often they mistake a watercolor for a print and that's how I made my best find there - a lovely watercolor by a Scottish artist that I liked so much I had some minor restoration work done and had it put in a period frame. It's hanging in my living room. Although I'm a dealer, I always consider my best finds the ones I want to keep. Let me know what you find out on your pottery.
