There's a small mall near me (in Ann Arbor, Michigan) that has a store catering to the local Chinese population. Last week dozens of giant pots (4 feet tall or more) appeared in the hallway outside the store. I looked at the prices on some of the pieces that appealed to me, such as a chest-high urn covered with spectacular crystal growth (1 inch or bigger) for US$600. Wow, I thought, that would be pretty hard for a US potter to compete with.
Yesterday I went by the same display, and there was a big "90% OFF" sign. So that big crystal-covered urn would be... only 60 dollars! I can't believe that even covers the shipping, all the way from China!
How can they DO that! ???
(No, I didn't buy it... no room!)
