well today is the day, I have a friend bidding for me at the auction and the anticipation is like a mild electric current running through my body.

I quite like lot 159 and some of Guy's items.

252 is my favourite. Are they helpful with enquiries about condition? I haven't used this autioneers before.

yes John Condie is in charge and will help but don't leave it too long

for those who can't attend tomorrow there is a live auction facility on the-saleroom.com,if you don't want to bid you can still listen in for fun

some tempting estimates this time and a few very tempting pots

a few tempting specimens indeed ...

Is anyone here attending the auction?

did anyone here buy anything today?

I did have two absentee bids in but they were low bids so I presume I didn't get the items considering I haven't heard anything from Cottee's.

not so Nige,they won't contact you before Tuesday anyhoo

I did. 3 lots. There were some buyers paying top money on some lots

It's an auction for collectors so prices are always high.

Freeform was particularly selling for top money; there was a telephone bidder and a commission bidder forcing them up. Worked for me because I was selling a couple of pieces and they went for more at auction than I had failed to sell them for retail

Delphis didn't do so well this time though.

the November catalogue is out and there are a few pieces with low estimates that sold a few years ago for big bucks

Looks like Cottees Poole Pottery auction went quite well:

I bet the woman who refused the 80 quid for 6 Poole items is happy!!!

the May 2014 catalogue is out - there seems to be very little Delphis available (unsuprisingly) - there are a few nice studio pieces but nothing spectacular ...

come and buy me estimates again this year, if the pots sell anywhere close to those prices there will be some very happy buyers at Cottees this month!
I'll have a punt on 9 lots.

mandrake1000 why would there be little Delphis?
