I have just recently found a handmade pot in a thrift store. It is a
small bowl, about 4 inches across, light brown raw finish. It is not
perfectly symmetrical, but it is signed in Asian script inside next to
the hole. Is this anything special?
Thanks, Brian


Probably a home made pot by a hobbyist. All the "good" pots I have seen
have the signature outside on the bottom. A good Japanese pot usually has a
"chop" or square/rectangle stamped into the bottom with the name of the
potter. I don't think this pot has any value.
