Subject: [IBC] using repaired pots


Chase Rosade tells me that, in Japan, really old and valuable pots with
minor dings are repaired with gold inlays (Maybe you could take it to a
dentist friend), and used in exhibits.

These are usually pots that are in the category "If it didn't have any
damage, you couldn't afford it".

Bart,
I think most of those "repaired" pots STILL fall in that catagory! :)

BTW, Have you ever heard of anyone in USA "renting" a pot for a tree for a
major display because he couldn't afford a pot that good even though the
tree was fabulous?
