I wouldn't be surprised if this hippo was a second. On most Mocha and slate pieces that I've seen, the brown drip is sparse. It is however quite glossy. The belly of this guy is very glossy. There was so much of the brown glaze applied that it has formed in a drip under his nose and belly. I'll try harder next time
