Battling Pot Addiction

Remarkable!! Love the glaze!

Thanks—there’s a name for it that escapes me at the moment. Got it on eBay from Japan.

What’s the deal with that John Wayne Gacy stuff on that website? Lol. Little unnerving.

This is just a fragment... mostly American potters here. A few production pots in there also.

My observation is that really exquisite glazed [or even more so] finely painted pots from Japan tend to be very small, three or four inches in length/diameter. Unless one is into mame or shohin sizes, those really artistic pots tend to be more for show than go, as they say. I saw a pot on eBay today that was antique painted Chinese, 4” by 4” at the top and maybe 5” high, offered for $7,600. That’s about the cost of my first three cars. Pots like that are geared toward pot collectors rather than pot users.

my battle with pot

You aren't supposed to fight.
Just sit back and enjoy the buzz.

I don't believe for a New York minute that anyone with enough sense to have $7,600 is also stupid enough to pay that kind of money for a purchase on Ebay. For that kind of money, you have to have a face-to-face with someone who can provide provenance for such an item.

I like the smooth lines on these:

I don't think you have a problem until you have stolen money to buy pots. Grocery money doesn't count.

Grocery money doesn't count.

Unless it was selling food stamps to buy pots.
