I love the old paintings- lithos and glass that feature hunting scenes with dogs. I have a couple of Edmund Osthaus pieces who is considered one of the best at depicting these images. A ex girlfriend who had a antique shop bought me the whole set of Buffalo Pottery plates featuring game birds and pitchers with game scenes that I have in my China cabinet. Has anybody got the glass vases that L.C. Smith gave away as prizes? I think there are 3 different variations of these.

L.C. Smith author and collector, Townsend Breeden and I were discussing the Smith trophy vases a while back. He lives in a town of not many more than 100 souls adjacent to the small town where I lived at the time. I dug through my ebay files for neat stuff and discovered that a Smith vase had been sold not long before by a person who lives in his little town, probably no more than a mile or two from either of us. We both missed it.
