bciskepottery Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 So, how many of you have made a $36M bowl lately. Or, made $36M on a bowl lately? Gonna have to practice roosters, hens and chicks in brush painting class. http://www.nbcnews.com/business/markets/ming-bling-36m-chicken-cup-record-china-porcelain-n74596 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Miller Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 I can't call into question the authenticity of the piece and I know that porcelain is appraised differently than swords, this reminds me a lot of the drama that happened on the Nihonto Message boards a while back, with an $80 million tachi. If you've got the time, it's well worth a read through: http://www.nihontomessageboard.com/nmb/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=14169&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&sid=c1bf3bb6a8535582d25a541b3560f463 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evelyne Schoenmann Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 My husband told me yesterday to please stop doing pit firings and please please start doing hens and chicks And, oh no, don't donate it to Ai. He will slap home paint on it..... I'am still angry at him..... Evelyne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benzine Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 My husband told me yesterday to please stop doing pit firings and please please start doing hens and chicks And, oh no, don't donate it to Ai. He will slap home paint on it..... I'am still angry at him..... Evelyne Yeah Evelyne, I understand his message, but I don't see how damaging artifacts, is the best way to get that message across. In regards to the bowl, definitely not my taste. If I saw it in a garage sale, I'd pass it up...... I'd look at the bottom of course, for the maker's mark, of course.

Just what we were supposed to feel when Yoko destroyed that ancient pot - "speechless with anger" is the perfect description of the feelings of many of us about the death of Lennon. Who is more rare and beautiful, me or a pot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
