I've been 'labeling' some Austrian, Hungarian and Czech Pottery.......with the names of deceased friends.....in memoriam......This large vase was obscured by a 'double rolling rack' of old clothes......Cleaned up and given a name, 'Hunter'..after Hunter Patterson...who loved birds, their viewing, and his 'naming' of them......and, I think these birds are a pair of Yellow-billed Magpie, that many consider the 'smartest' of avians.... [And, I recall a 'Magpie" story.........A cat was stalking a magpie for its potential luncheon fare.....the nervous magpie, mimicking the humans..when they called their dog......."called" the dog out to the yard...to chase the cat away.........then, it was back to Singing.]
