Pot by Watanabe Kei

[caligal56]

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 some so I can get a move on selling? Anyone interested in old pots who wants to buy? Some of them are 40-50 years old. I found them in the backyard. They are everywhere. I've got 5-6 really big ones that I've pulled out. This one is the biggest. Here are 5 more..Just chop marks.

Where are you located? Best to add location to your profile.

Why is there a second thread on this battered and abused pot?

You found them in your back yard and they're everywhere? What??

I've gotta go check my back yard, what do you do, turn over stones? Look up in tree branches and birds nests?

I believe this poster mentioned a family member past away who she is trying sell off bonsai items that once belonged to them. If I'm not mistaken...

I see, I was thinking maybe a newly purchased property or something. Sorry for your loss, I hope the trees if any found good homes?

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 all go do bonsai for 70 years, imagine what you'll leave behind. The trees we had to let go. They were dying. I donated them to a bonsai nursery.

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?

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...
