pot id help

Hello. I recently purchased this as a used pot at my local nursery. The "used" pots have dirt all over with drainage mesh and clips still in etc. Once I cleaned it up it looked good and I found this chop. I don't know much about this stuff so any id help or something regarding the quality of the pot would really help.

thanks

Now, about things I do know about, what are the dimensions, and do you mind, how much did you have to give for this fine "used" pot? __________________ Over 25 years experience - good and bad, and still learning!

After cleaning, it was like new. I will tell you how much I paid, but first you (or someone else) must tell me how much you think it is worth. regards, bonsaimeister __________________ "On its root I firmly commit In its trunk I keep my soul Through its leaves, I reflect my vision..." - Robert Steven

IT looks to be weel-fired without waves, blemishes, etc. from the pic. My guess of course is that it is Tokoname ware. __________________ Over 25 years experience - good and bad, and still learning!

I paid $18 for it LOL it was so covered in dirt etc. that the seller probably didi'nt notice. The prices in my area are VERY low, because there is not alot of demand for bonsai and related items. Every one in my club is very old, and have ceased to by things entirely. The older people only work with "instant mame". Anyhow, I have gotten many good deals on the 'used' pots. I would rather pay 1/3 the origanal price, spend 20 cleaning it, and have an almost perfect pot. regards, bonsaimeister __________________ "On its root I firmly commit In its trunk I keep my soul Through its leaves, I reflect my vision..." - Robert Steven

For the curious, it means "not two". Myself, I think it is a beautiful pot. __________________ Change alone is eternal, perpetual, immortal. -- Arthur Schopenhauer
