The Porcelain Outhouse
My most unusual find is a porcelain outhouse figurine! Yes, you read that correctly. Believe it or not, many of these humorous figurines were produced back in the day. It would have been quite ironic if I had dug this up in an actual privy (another word for outhouse).
Pictured below is my prized possession, and a side by side of the closest match I could find. I showed it to a fellow bottle collector and he believes it was produced in Japan before WWII.
