Do they ship internationally? Iโd looked at them there previously but didnโt get as far as looking at the shipping options. To he comes a member, do you need to do more than provide contact details?

Don't know about international shipping as I'm in the US. I became a member to buy these because it was cost effective at the time. Just had to give contact info, and I got a few catalogs in the mail that I like leafing through.

The auction success has always baffled me too. Saw them going for ยฃ900 at auction when they were freely available for about ยฃ225. Thought I must be missing something.

Yourโs actually looks slightly different from the usual ones Iโve seen. The stem looks shorter and the shape is slightly different too. Do you remember where you got yours from? I have seen a few variations. I have one from a holiday to Japan & have always wondered the same as the OP!

Prints and old huge additions by Koons or Hirst still go for high prices at auctions when you could pick them up for much less at a gallery, and without paying buyer premium

Itโs cute These ones definitely werenโt at Mori when I was there some years later. Only the yellow/black and red/white ones like in the OPโs image.

Just saw the same one on artsy (a bit expensive lately) for 1250usd...

Yeah Artsy is not the best site to reference sales. Therefore it should have a pretty high value as itโs an old one. I have all the Naoshima set + a couple of yellow ones. Their quality is awesome.yu yummy! any pics of them?!

How many years ago did you buy the blk/red one? It wasnโt available when I was there. So even a trip to Japan might not help. Ebay may be a better bet or a Japanese friend who can help.

There was an auction today with two original pumpkins from Yayoi in 1990... they sold for $1000 and 1200+25% commission + tax + $50 shipment. If I didn't spend too much this past few days I would have gone surely for one.
Ah ok, maybe it was just out of stock when I was there. I was there the year before. Donโt need much of an excuse to return to Japan though, so hopefully once itโs possible to go again Iโll go pumpkin hunting...
