This one is the best of the two. The other is dubious. For that reason, I have to keep it for the time being. (It's ironic that I have to keep a lot of the dubious pots!)
This pot, I anticipate, is going to be sold at auction up in Ohio during "Pottery Lovers" in July. In the interest of building name recognition in the auction arena, I have offered to donate the proceeds of this piece to the Pottery Lovers organization, an organization I admire and have to thank for their years of volunteer effort. No small feat. I have yet to hear if the organization wants to accept my offer. I was told such matters must go before the board. Anyway, I am waitng to hear from you, if any board members are reading this.
As a Zanesville post script; I heard from the board, they accepted the pot for the Zanesville auction, it went for 1400. Thank you Richard and Molly!
