I agree! Mine sits on a walnut stand, in a place of honor and all guests ask about it. Everytime I pick it up I marvel at it's journey rolling around the bottom of the ocean, across the seas (it is encrusted in places but not chipped or broken), arriving in my hands! Even if it turned out these Webbs were 72d cousins, it still thrills me that it is old and how odd things like this happen.
