Hello everybody, GeorgiaBonsai suggested that I post a link to my eBay site. This represents a fraction of my fathers extensive collection and life long love. As of posting this, I have listed only 2 pots because as you all know, before I can sell anything, I need to identify each pot. Here is...

And finally, Sankyou for identifying that mark, Georgiabonsai. Now..you knew THAT was coming, LOL. THANK YOU to everybody for trying to help me, and my apologies for my snappy remarks. Well, not ALL of them...

Excuse me Mr. JKL, there are 2 because I am 56 and I have NEVER posted on a forum before. I'm old and unsure of how they work. That's why. Understand?

Yes, to finding them in yard like an Easter egg hunt. Yes, I'm not kidding, and yes(and thanks) to Cadillactaste, for sympathy regarding my dad who left them EVERYWHERE, except in the trees and nests, but didn't tell anyone about potential value leaving me to go INSANE trying to find out. You...

Pots Part 2 Here's another I'm trying to I'D. ( This is soooo fun!) ok this has a mark but, someone put their fingerprint over it! I can make out maybe a house or pagoda or the image of Christ, if I stare at it long enough. You look at it.

What maker is this? With all the holes?

Mysterious Language of Bonsai Translated Aha! That is what I was looking for. A simple "it's not worth all that much". I will toss them onto ebay with great abandon in hopes of paying for a stay at the local nuthouse where I might regain my sanity and stop seeing chop marks in my cheerios and...

Mysterious Language of Bonsai I am trying as hard as I can to get someone to answer a simple question about a pot. So far, I am unable to do this. I get "go look here", or "check this site", or "might be 2 bucks or 2 thousand", maybe "20 or 75 bucks" or "protect your biscuits". I've been to all...

Watanabe Kei Pot Here are pix

Chop marks Here are pictures

Here are pix of pot. I have a bunch of old pots I cannot identify. I would like to send the pix of chop marks to someone who can identify them. I've already sent them to Ryan, and am waiting to hear back. In the meantime, I would like to get a few up for sale. Is there anyone here who can ID...

Hold on...I will send pix

I have a very large pot with a chop mark by this Tokoname master. It has a very small chip on lip. It is 18 1/4" (W) x 11 1/4" (L) x 6 1/2" (H). Any idea of value? I want to sell it.
