The Worlds' most expensive potty goes to auction.
This blog is dedicated to Goose whose mum is a pasta opps sorry pastor.
You would have to spend more than a pretty penny to buy the
world’s most expensive chamber pot. Made on 1724 this Meissen example is valued
at a unbelievable £60,000. Pooh pooh I hear you say it can’t be true. Yep it is
and you can splash out and buy it if you are feeling a wee flush! It looks like granny’s gravy boat if you ask me? Yikes roasts
dinners will never taste the same again. This no bog standard bourdalou and it comes
up for auction at the end of the year here in London. The bourdalou was named
in the 18th century after the priest Louis Bourdalou, who preached at the court
of French King Louis IV. His sermons were so fascinating that
ladies of the court would use their pots rather than leave to relieve
themselves. So that’s quite a hullaballoo about
going to the loo folks. We think you’d have to be pretty potty to want
buy it.
We'll stick to the grass and trees. Definitely cheaper.

Hi Molly,
ReplyDeleteHoly Pee Wees...I've peed myself thinking about it, I thought it was an antique water bowl not a pee pot! Mum got a gravy boat like that at home, may go for a sniff later to see whats its worth bury it along with my other finds....this could me that once I've flogged it, mum and dad will have to sign a Prenup!I'm not just for Christams.
MOL Molly there are so many crazy things running through Mom's head...first off she hates to admit it but she is 'old enough' to VAGUELY remember that Her GRANDMA still used a chamber pot (aka she called it a slop pot)Mom said that memory was buried deep in her gray matter...until this morning
ReplyDeleteMOL
hugs Madi your BFFF
How in the world.......well, never mind!
ReplyDeleteNo, I'll use sour cream instead of gravy, thank you!
I think my MOM needs one of those after reading this. Bawhahhahha. That Priest Dude must have been some preacher. MOM says she would rather people head of to the "head" during her message than pop a squat in the sanctuary.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Goose
Good one, my friend.... I don't use one of those....I seem to keep missing and they get upset with me....
ReplyDeleteOH LOOK how pretty your furs look... after being in those FURSlers. I have got to get my MOM to use those in her stringy furs!!
ReplyDeleteNow about that Potty thingy... I think it is TOO TALL fur Ernie and I to... make a GO of it.
BOL! Thanks for the laugh, Molly!
ReplyDeleteWe don't even know what to say Molly, our lid on our potty keeps breaking and it only costs $7.00 to fix it....................

PS PS Thanks for clicking on the words and voting for me! It makes me feel really specialy that I have all these dog-friends making extra clicks for me!
Do they do them in different sizes we wonder? A gravy boat wouldn't be much use if you were a Mastiff, would it?

ReplyDeleteSo much money for so little = D As always lovely Molly = *
ReplyDeleteThink I'll give it a miss!
ReplyDeleteFancy chamber pot but we like the back yard. And Goose's mom is our pastor! We get to go to church the 3rd Sunday of every month and we get to bark "AMEN" if we want to and it's okay with her.
ReplyDeleteYour friends,
Murphy & Stanley
Hi Y'all,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stoppin' by for a visit. I'm so glad y'all could make it!
Hope y'all are havin' a wonderful week. I'm still BOL!!!! It does kind of look like my Human's gravy boats...though I'm sure they wouldn't fetch that kind of poundage. ;)
Y'all come back now,

I'm picturing a row of ladies all regally seated on a pot. Must have made for some interesting accompaniment to the sermon!

ReplyDeleteThat was great, Molly!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis confirms Wrigs's suspicions that humans are just plain goofy. You could buy a LOT of dog treat-making supplies for £60,000!
