15. My last best find of the year

Tue Sep 11, 2012, 03:35 PM

Sep 2012

because I have to work Saturdays again for awhile. I picked up a couple of small grubby pottery pots for $4 each that looked like they could be kind of interesting, sitting on a table full of ordinary nick nacks. All the other regulars had passed them by. I was totally blown away when I cleaned them up, I have never seen such beautiful glazes before. It turns out that one of them is by a well known potter / author from years back and the last one of his for sale on ebay went for $465. Not that I plan to sell these too quickly I want to enjoy them for awhile.
