I'm starting to understand you pot people!

There is something in the Facebook auction right now that, for the first time, is tempting me to buy a fancy pot:

Here's the description:
"Breathtaking Oval from Aiba Koyo in one of his 3 versions of Namako. Most every contemporary potter has a version of the Antique Chinese classical glaze, but this one from Koyo (and also Youzan's) are different from anything I've ever seen. Marvelous runs and drips remind me of the Aurora Borealis. Measures 7.7 by 5.7 by 1.8"

I don't have any idea what I would do with it, but I just can't stop looking at it
I just love that glaze. I think I can resist for now, but man, it's a weird feeling to lust after a piece of pottery!

I just wanted to share my appreciation. What do you guys think?

Pretty. Very unique glaze on that one. Everyone should have a Koyo, the glazes are wonderful.

Love Koyo pots. He is known for his glazes and is frequently compared to some of the all time great Japanese potters in this regard. Concerning this pot, it might be a bit "over the top" for my liking...but his pots are collectible as well as usable. By the way, nice pots are a lot like potato chips...

I am also finding myself lusting after pots more and more. I need nice trees first though, That way I have an excuse to buy them!

It's very nice, but hard to find a good tree for it i think

@ColinFraser : I super dig it. Considered bidding, but won't...

Yep, crazy cool pot!! Saw that one, little over what I want to pay for a pot right now, but if I was going to buy one to stick on a shelf somewhere... It would look a lot like this!!

What a difference a few years makes ?
