Me too . How much do you think it will go for ?

Koyo's seem very hot right now, a standard shape and glaze Koyo in this size is probably $250-300 landed in Aus. This being an unusual shape and rarer glaze who knows? Any auction at the end of the day, just comes down to whether there are at least 2 people having money and really wanting it.
Life's too short for boring pots

I’ve always loved the purple glaze on the Koyo at the bottom

The first one reminds me of a cane toad.... but it's beautiful pottery. The second one has a very subtle glaze, but the lines are very severe - I think it would be difficult to match with a tree. The third one is beautifully subtle and restrained, drop-dead gorgeous. I want to see a tree in the pitted off-white glaze - it's that good. One of your Buxus harlandii would go very nicely. Are they on the way?

Hi Gavin,

I am out of space for more pots at the moment; maybe after next weeks event at the Arboretum on the Saturday Sales Day in the Terrace Room.

Market is hot at the moment for the right artist.
This auction result last night for a very collectable Tsukinowa Yusen:
