Okay i know the song say,s dog but give me some poetic license here.
There is a window but no dog just a small pot, a pot that has sat on the windowsill for sometime.The owners thought the pot was colourful but of no real value.It was first purchaased for a few shillings in the Fifties, a valuer saw the pot ten years ago and said "that it was worthless" said the owner who did not want to be named, i would also think that the first valuer would not not want to be named either.
For as it turns out the Pot is a Chinese wine jug from the reign of the Emperor Qianlong (1736-1795).
It stands 7.5in high, pink-patterned with a broad mouth, no handle and is decorated with Buddhist symbols and lotus flowers.
Luckily for the unnamed owner Guy Schwinge of auctioneers Duke's in Dorchester,
Oh and to answer my opening question How Much is That Pot in the Window, it is expected to fetch the better side of £100,00.
Until next week Happy Hunting
