    “Nice vase you have here. It would be a shame if something bad were to happen to it. If you get my drift.”

    It was a nice pot. It would fit nicely in his chamber.

    “Made in China? Oh, of course, the antiques dealer said it was a Ming vase so that makes sense.”

    -$5 for a vase isn’t bad. But as a vahse is worth a small fortune.

    all have info, or links that point to more info, about this artist (born in 1829, not 1825), perhaps in addition to what’s pointed to by the title URL. So far, 3 works by this artist have been used here (4 times total, including a different caption repeat). 

    https://www.gocomics.com/that-is-priceless/2019/09/09?comments=visible 

    has the prior (the repeat, my comment there included the same artist info URLs, plus one since removed because it now requires the reader to register at its website).

     

    Again, a larger strip image is shown by (⌘- or Ctrl-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #2310 (October 17, 2019) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment.

    Nice detail on the tablecloth. What’s that thing lying there? It looks like either a kitchen utensil or a BBQ lighter.
