Just found this Meer Pot on the bay, which you almost never see. Only an hour left!

Looks like a 3/4" chamber (hard to say for sure from just a photo) and I like my pots bigger. I won't be tossing any bids at that one but she's a beauty

It does have some pretty beefy walls. If it were cheaper I'd say someone should have a go at boring it out.Mr Beardsley wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2019 4:48 pm Looks like a 3/4" chamber (hard to say for sure from just a photo) and I like my pots bigger.

Yeah. Probably by the time I had everything done to it that I'd want it would put me in the neighborhood of new meer moneyhoutenziel wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2019 4:50 pmIt does have some pretty beefy walls.

If it was African Meer I'd be hard pressed to leave it alone, regardless of chamber size. I like them all, ones I can't fit a pinky in to tamp with and ones that swallow my thumb.
