Popular Post Caprifool Posted November 29, 2012 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 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! 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's evil! 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. Is there a medal for that? no, but there maybe a Uboat available! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeco Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 I would pay £50 for that so I could stamp on it and make nice and flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveC Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 The vendor has a stool listed as "old pine" - looks just like the ones that Lidl sold a couple of years back. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlt Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athy Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 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.

carlt Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 He does say that it's old - what could it have originally been used for? It is quite possibly a bit of foreign tinware that has been fashioned to resemble a water can in a photograph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Dovetail Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your own level of ability should not preclude your criticising something. I can criticise an egg but I couldn't lay a better one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
