Anyone know where to sell an yixing pot in LA?

by wulongcha » Mar 31st, '15, 07:27

Hello,

I have a pot that I am looking to sell. I am unsure of how much its worth, but when I received it I was told that it was quite valuable. It was made by Zhang Xue Jun (张雪军), is 8 sided and I believe it is made out of "原矿崖".

Here are a couple pictures of it...

Anyone have any thoughts or advice on where to go? Thanks

His work routinely sells for under $200. He is a National Craftsman, not master. He does nice work. You can google his name.

Do you need it sold immediately? Otherwise, eBay is the way to go.

Why sell it in LA? Aren't you in TW?

If it is worth less than $200 I won't bother :)... & Chip just left TW yesterday ... Kind of float between the US and Asia but thought the market for high end stuff would be higher in LA with wealthy immigrants (but I am clueless to the marketplace). Sounds like it will be something just to hang on to

Leaving Taiwan to sell a Yixing pot in L.A. is kinda like leaving Jamaica to sell some ganja in Salt Lake City. :D

I don't think there is any specific place you could sell it.
Doesn't mean there couldn't be a buyer, but I don't have any ideas in terms of how you would find one.
