Manneken Pis

Anyone on this side of the pond recognize the statue? Europeans probably do...

These ashtrays are fairly common, but I'll wager not many in the forum have come across them.

I've visited the little fellow in Brussels and have many photos of him in various military uniforms. But I've never seen this ashtray.

I've got one almost the same. It's great additional piece of art in my man cave.

That's great! I've underestimated the Belgian sense of humor.

Been there, seen that, didn't buy the tee shirt! Flew Sabena from Montreal to Brussels en route to Nigeria and spent an evening wandering the streets around the Grand Place. Don't remember seeing the swastika in the little pool though. I assume that's a clever addition to the piece, like British chamber pots with Napoleon's or Hitler's face painted on the bottom.
