Any one ever bought a Kelvin Bradford pot before? What sort of prices are we looking at?

Oh wow ..... where did you get it ....and what did you pay ... if I may be so nosey ....
The one I got was shell fumed and is about 17cm high by 11cms across.
He had this one that I photographed as well.... but it was going to Japan for his exhibition ...
just to show you what he does 15 years later .......*drools and dribbles*
He emailed me from Osaka last week after I sent him photos from the raku firing.
He exhibits in Japan every year..... though he did say that he hoped to have an exhibition at home this year.

fishing line and holding your mouth just right works.....
I wish it was that easy ....
oh and throw your piece ever so thick to begin with..
then cut off at all angles to a rhythm in E minor ....
