Any idea what this pot is?

[TooTiredToType77]

I'm clearing out my in laws house and this funny little guy just came down from the loft, protected in bubble wrap. The lid is pretty lethal. It's hollow so I some kind of decorative pot. Any ideas anyone?

It's horrible is what it is. One for the skip.

It looks like an unwanted gift they couldn't face binning.

That's the most hideous ornament I've ever seen 😂

I think one of their children has made it at school.

Which is the ONLY reason they haven't thrown it out.

It's a Flump!!!

Put it outside your door. Will scare off the trick or treaters.

If you're binning it op I'd take it off your hands!

A medieval naughty step?

I love that!

definitely don’t bin it give him to me so I can show him off!

Ah thanks for that... I've got the theme in my head now!

Use it as a planter? It's quite ugly but that would make me want it for my garden!

It's like a German soldier flump! I've not got the theme tune in my head!

Your probably right, probably an unwanted weird gift. Just the oddest thing ever!

I screamed

Definitely. My parents had a few products of our art and craft lessons, the pottery items were generally the ugliest.

It's a Flump! Homemade version, possibly.

You could almost use it as a Halloween decoration.

Please be careful how you dispose of this. Advise exorcism. It's a medieval shamen soul snare. You may need to cast it into a volcano.

You could store onions in it, and use the lid to deter those pesky onion thieves.

It's hardly the Sistine Chapel!

This was also in the loft...definitely made by my DH 40 odd years ago.

At least you can joke about it with your in-laws op. Imagine finding that after they'd passed away, horrible!!

It's such a monstrosity that I couldn't throw it away! Bizarre creature!

When did she joke about it with her inlaws? Surely she wouldn't be asking on here if she could ask them...

??

They both passed. I'm at the house with a house clearance company...complete on the house early next week 🙃

Ah man, I completely mis-read your situation and thought it was a clear up rather than the harrowing clear-out.

You know they're watching you and chucking about the family treasures 😆

Hope you've got plenty of support for the emotional stuff around the sale.
