Now here is an interesting beastie. An over 200 lot specialist timed online studio pottery auction. Its got a good selection of Studio pottery right across the board. Lots  Baldwin. Henderson, Yasuda, Leach, Malone et al.Perhaps nO Gosh Wow! lots. But a pretty good one.
              But there is a catch. Its a two week online bidding auction. Viewing only on Wednesday October 4 for one day. Bidding only through the Saleroom. No Online condition descriptions, reports by request. There is a normal list of professional carriers. Payment by BanK transfer only.
               The Long List of Terms and condition when buying!

             Is this the way the auction market is going? It does BEG  numerous questions. Only through the Saleroom. very little viewing, no automatic descriptions. Chorleys are long standing auctioneers. An interesting saleroom in a deep valley about 10 miles from Cheltenham. But... They are auctioneers. Outside all the normal caveats that apply to other online outlets. Moreover, it is going to be an expensive way of buying.

Not a good auction this. A very large number of unsolds and low bidS. Very poor advert for On line auctions!"
