    If basket #2 is a $1000 basket, I gotta get in that auction! I have a couple of those!

    They don't sell for anywhere near that here. I guess Arizona is different.

    Last time I sold a pot it was an auction thru Rago Arts, wasn't disappointed.
    @vitry-le-francois can't recall-did you find them at a Thrift,Auction,Flea market ?
    PS-No specifics expected of course.

    I am not surprised by the prices, particularly if the labels included some attribution to a particular collector or museum. If a dealer bought them, I imagine they may (at least) double the prices. What country was this auction in?

    Sorry Vitry- Wish they would've been yours, or as an alternative-Mine. An extra five grand always comes in handy (escape cash !)
    PS- We always like the 'wee' jest here of course ?
