First Sale (sort of)

Last fall, my neice asked me if I would donate something for her school's auction. Of course I was flattered and said I would. In January I sent her this set of 3 slab built vases (Laguna ^5 Bmix, Laguna Colonial White glaze fired to ^5). Yesterday, my sister told me that they were displayed at the auction with some silk orchids on the same same table as the Waterford Crystal (I'd like to think there's a logic beyond "just put it over there" to that placement). My sister didn't know the final selling price, but the last bid she saw on them was $100.

At least I now know I'm not the only one who thinks my pieces are worth paying for.
