I bid $75 on a pot that I liked on a FB auction. I totally did not expect to win but I did. Now I'm worried that I overbid! lol. I know it doesn't really matter since I like it but what do you guys think?

#6: No reserve. Glazed rectangle with cloud feet from Japanese artist Tosui. No chips/cracks or damage.

Approximate overall size
10 3/8" x 7 3/4" x 1 7/8"

Starting bid $60
No reserve
No BIN

You did not overbid, imo. I eyeballed that pot but didn't pull the trigger as I already have 2 boatloads of pots without trees. It's a good pot.

Tosui pots are good, the family has a very long, multi-generational history of pot-making. The feet of Tosui pots are very recognizable identifying features, like this one. Some of their best pots are painted landscapes. You would be almost stealing this at $75, and if it sells low, it’s probably because it’s very shallow for practical use with many trees.

Looks like a well-bought piece of pottery. Imagine it's about half-price of normal. Really shallow, as was mentioned.



…………...I approve your purchase ;):D:D:D:D:D:D:D:cool:
