I,ve got an LP..here and one of the tracks on it..is Belladonna Moonshine...now Belladonna..is Deadly Nightshade...which produces berries...that are,nt poisonous to little burdies...but if taken in large quantities, can be fatal..to humans....but if taken in small quantities...they are very hallucinogenic....a friend of mine who incidently is a nuclear physicist..in America...once made jam using said berries....suffice to say...we all had a high time.... ;D...not that you would know much about that Mart...as you led a sheltered life.... ;) ;D

Very handsome piece...what would it cost to fill it up? Stoneware always seems to have a following, regardless of the economy. (Sometime I'll have to tell you the tale of my coffee cup size crock that I sold on eBay back in the last century...for $10K.)
