If it's a jug, don't pick it up by the ears. Or the handle.

That's all I know.

All my knowledge of art comes from, I think it was "Three Men and a Baby", or "Look Who's Talking":

This is what I did with some of my parents' stuff. It took several hours to pin down that it was made in I forget what town in Germany in the 1860s. IIRC, it sold for like $20.

These are the figurines and they have no mark on the bottom which is why this is perplexing. They only have initials on the base. I cannot decide if they are Italian or French and if anyone has seen this type of collectable they are not usually so elegant and the pairs are generally hen and rooster not fighting cocks. Most fighting cocks I have seen {laff} are metal.
