ONCE IN A LIFE TIME OPPORTUNITY TO BUY OLD (20 years plus) POTS
Entry to sale $2
About 400 old bonsai pots will be offered for sale at prices ranging from $2 to $35
At least 50% of the pots are Japanese, of the quality hard to find these days. Average size 9” (20cm)
All interested persons are invited to meet in the car park in Rainbow Street, (opposite Forsyth Street) Kingsford between 10:45 – 11:00am on Saturday 12 May 2012

Meet in the carpark and then get taken to the sale place, sounds a bit cloak and dagger
Wish i was there, sounds like fun

I was fortunate enough to be able to go along, it was a deceased estate and the family members were running the sale with assistance from the Syd City Club.
It was good to see some lovely pots going to good homes where they will be used and appreciated- not tossed in the bin which can sometimes happen in this situation. I purchased a few pots, rocks, books and a small stand. I don’t know if any pots are Japanese but I just bought ones I liked and knew I’d use, as I don’t have many at all.
