Nope.
The first is Anglo-American lead-glazed earthenware. I wish the second wasn't, but it probably is. I wish it was either Acadian lead-glaze earthenware (preferably), or Québécois lead-glazed earthenware.
(Salt glaze was used for stonewares - you can recognize it by the texture of it, which looks sort of like an orange peel.)

We had some cake and wine for a friend's birthday this afternoon.
These critters are the dry season incarnate.
I had the wrong lens on the camera, but they'll do for the moment.

Went out to the park yesterday morning for my morning coffee and spent the time talking with my buddy, Sammy. Sammy's not much for talking, but he is a good listener. He just sat there chomping on an acorn or something for several minutes.

The first Sammy pic is a great candidate for a "caption the picture" contest...

This I picked as I was putting out the garbage bin/trash/wheelie bin.
I couldn't find a Yank dime for you to relate size to, but did find a Canadian dime ( from Niagara).
Beauty is often unnoticed.

Canada has a ten cent coin. Only America (as was pointed out to me by some Aussie  ) has a coin with only the name "dime", and no value marked on it. 
Great pics OF. Thanks. There are many fantastic things on the scale of the 'wee people'.

Here are a couple
Sorry about the mediocre quality
my phone has a lamo camera
A nice warm Spring Day in Montreal
O.K. I forget the exact date, but I'd guess sometime in March or April
The Last is from the morning of Game Seven vs Boston
A fan decorated a Statue in Old Montreal, notice the car in the background for size reference
Price Larger than life !!! ... 
A nice tribute I think
The city even left it there for at least 4-5 days
Sadly after the Game Two loss I noticed it was gone |
