<p>[QUOTE="RachelW, post: 9422071, member: 15376"]Thank you for your replies! You both are far too kind, Google was actually very forthcoming with results and a webpage had a blurb on the company. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie51" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Nonetheless your comments are very encouraging and much appreciated, I do love antiques and I've learned so much from you all. I just want to know more haha!</p><p><br /></p><p>Re: the pot itself:</p><p>I believe it was the same size yes.</p><p>The general condition was excellent yes, but things usually escape my notice on first look so I'd have to go back to look more closely for chips or damage.</p><p>The comparison between the bronze and this did give me pause, but I'm not sure if there is a real difference in quality or the bronze gives the terracotta a cleaner look.</p><p>The black itself made me unsure as well, as I've seen only raw color or bronze, but I just did a search and two examples come up, one I've linked here: <a href="https://catalogo.beniculturali.it/detail/HistoricOrArtisticProperty/0900303537" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://catalogo.beniculturali.it/detail/HistoricOrArtisticProperty/0900303537" rel="nofollow">https://catalogo.beniculturali.it/detail/HistoricOrArtisticProperty/0900303537</a></p><p>I can't see the image there because my internet is playing up, but they certainly seem to think its legit. Interesting note on that page about the serial number meaning its earlier, not sure if this could be the case with mine as well?</p><p>Its certainly on brand with the manufacturer, of the same style and subject as their other items. Their price range is very wide, small boxes are listed for a few hundred while their large garden seats or murals are in the 2500+ range.</p><p><br /></p><p>Exactly Bosko, if I'm confident I could do just that then I'm quite happy paying the price asked. I had originally wanted it for myself but for an unknown without any idea of making it back even evenually was too much. I've been spoiled with carboot prices for just about everything to the point where 10 is far too expensive for most things! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie51" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> But I'm coming to realize that even a steal is sometimes 'real money', not everything will be 2 euros! You have a point...a nice profit here would set me up nicely for more antique hunting...</p><p><br /></p><p>Re: the sale, honestly I'm not sure how I would go about it, hadn't thought that far!

[QUOTE="RachelW, post: 9422071, member: 15376"]Thank you for your replies! You both are far too kind, Google was actually very forthcoming with results and a webpage had a blurb on the company. :hilarious: Nonetheless your comments are very encouraging and much appreciated, I do love antiques and I've learned so much from you all.
