It was probably during one of those "internet-hippo-hunts" that made me stumble upon this item. The moment I saw its picture, I fell in love. I could see it on my desk, filled with colorful pens and pencils. Unfortunately, the space of the hippo head is too deep (or my pens and pencils too short). I will have to put something inside, so everything sticks out, like on the picture, to be grabbed easily. For the time being, it is decorating a shelf above my desk, keeping some hippo friends company. I have not decided yet what to do, as it found its perfect spot. Maybe I will have to find another hippo-pen-and-pencil-holder.... :-).

IMM Living The King's Subjects Porcelain
Animals might roam the plains of Africa, but this hippopotamus container is yours to place wherever you like. From imm Living's King's Subjects collection, the exotic hippopotamus and his avian companion is the inspiration for this irreverent Porcelain Hippopotamus Container, its mouth open wide to hold a bouquet, art supplies, or assorted odds and ends. The bright white porcelain is contrasted with a salmon-colored bird perched atop its snout. When you can't vacation to see them in the wild, bring a little imm Living hippopotamus container into your own habitat. Made of white porcelain. 5"W x 6.5" D x 8" H. Designed by Michael Revil Madjus. The Porcelain Hippopotamus Container is part of the King's Subjects collection.
