<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 349534, member: 78"]Hi,</p><p> In Chinatown in NY you used to see thousands of larger pots like these. They were hand done shipping containers and thrown away when empty. I bought several and put a glass lid on them and used them for plant stands and such. I saw one that really got my attention. The shop keeper looked at me when I offered 25 dollars for it. He dumped out the contents into a box and put the money in his pocket. He thought I was crazy.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" /></p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
