A full 12 hours after the announcement that it was the Mallard Duck, we got this from Belize:
That's it! I knew it ! I knew it! It is the Agnes Veeder vase! And having shipped it to Tucson myself from my own home, I'd have to say that being out of the country is not a factor in maintaining my 1/6 portion of the vase value!
S, -- having a good time in Belize, where using the Internet or making a phone call is a major event. They say perhaps on Monday, someone will come to the house to put in the DSL line. Then a couple days later, someone will come with the modem.

Stan writes: No, Sosie, it is not the Agnes Veeder vase (left). A good guess, nonetheless, but your aunt was a hobbyist, and never reached the stature of a Joe Messer. And thanks for bubble wrapping and sending us the vase, in case we forgot to mention. If you ever get a DSL line installed in your palace in Belize, would you use some of your leisure time to research the value of the mallard? Some of us are a little short right now and Christmas is coming.
