Don't fight over it - starting bid only £50!

[steven wilkinson]

£50

[cheshire~rose]

But if people bid a tenner on a tin of spam in an auction then anything is possible ....... form an orderly queue over there!

[BlueStringPudding]

Cuuuuuuute!

[Night Hawk]

HIDEOUS.....uttery hideous...!!!

should be taken out to sea and machine gunned.

[Caprifool]

Someone put their a lot of time and heart into that. If its not good enough for you, why not just shut up? What is it with some people, this need to openly ridicule things just because it's "not right" or they just don't like it. I think that's evil!

Is there a medal for that?

i certainly wouldn't buy it, but i agree someone else might like it and someone has had a bit of fun painting it! it dares to be different and I for one like different.

no, but there maybe a Uboat available!

[leeco]

I would pay £50 for that so I could stamp on it and make nice and flat.

The vendor has a stool listed as "old pine" - looks just like the ones that Lidl sold a couple of years back.

I love the way the brown and blue go together so nicely...NOT

[Gibbo]

I think the roses are actually quite nice. It's just the base colours that don't work for me.

I've seen worse decoration being sold for a lot more to unsuspecting tourists by canal based retailers who should know better.

 

The can is a very odd shape though.

[Ally]

If that is worth 50squids (though no bids on it yet) I'd like to see the stern lamp in the auction go up a bit more!

[Athy]

It's not most people's idea of a "traditional" Buckby can but it's pretty and neatly decorated. I think he'll struggle to find a buyer at that price, though.

He does say that it's old - what could it have originally been used for? The handle is not typical of a boat can, also it has no lid - in fact it looks like a watering can with an abbreviated spout.

Interesting piece. I'll take it for a tenner incl. p&p.

It is quite possibly a bit of foreign tinware that has been fashioned to resemble a water can in a photograph.

You don't know that, i know someone who painted up a load of old buckets and watering cans in one day flat, much worse than this and sold them at Camden market, it was a pure rip off, this might even be one of them.

 

a good slagging off never hurt anyone, grow up.

Shut it dick head

[Dovetail]

Not a great fan of this traditional form of canal art and I bet a few of the old boatmen perhaps also thought the same.

 

I much prefer constructive criticism and not qualified to comment on the painting as I could not do any better.

 

The painter claims to be a boater and the can and other items they are selling look well painted and ok if that’s what you want.

Your own level of ability should not preclude your criticising something. I can criticise an egg but I couldn't lay a better one.

Bishop: "I'm afraid you've got a bad egg, Mr Jones"
