actually, butter pecan, haagan-dazs or breyers, yummy stuff. i get the quart size so 1 or 2 sittings, it's gone, why waste a dish? that would have to be washed. You girls just wanna break out doo-dads & pottery when NONE of that stuff is required!

Darn Jacon4 !!  I remember those butter pecan sundaes at the drug store soda fountain next to the theater !!  That was my favorite too,,!!   Can`t eat it now !!    Back in the good old days !!

Mart, had me cackling on the thought of Jacon4 with his head stuck in a container!

Well this is interesting, I think I have a fake/reproduction, which is OK since I didn't pay much for it. There's wear on it, on the rim and scuffs on the bottom. The glaze has a chip on the nose. All signs that this isn't brand new. It's also most definitely hand painted. However it's most certainly not from Vincennes Sevres France in 1756, which it appears that the mark on it is loosely imitating. The glaze looks too new. It's also petite, too small to be useful  and more for a tourist take home souvenir from this area of France I think. Ah well, Mr. Toby has a good look to him anyway and will get a spot in my kitchen!

lol, oh dear! Toby is a fake! Still, not a loss considering what you paid, it still has the look, just not antique.

Although a fake, it would make a nice vase, spooner, etc.  That way you could use it as a honor to the time period but not be grief stricken if it gets broken/cracked from use!

Good point KC. The upside is that, since it's not genuine (although maybe an old fake?), you can feel free to use it without fear.

[talesofthesevenseas]

Yup, my thoughts exactly.

I would say 1970`s or so tourist item !! Still has a neat look !!
