He built this here in Spain with me watching and learning, I fired and glazed it. I am super happy that it will be on display as part of the EBPC. European Bonsai Potters collective Display at the Trophy exhibition in Genk Belgium next February. 97B94729-E2BF-4E34-899B-39C4C33BE926.jpeg

I saw this on FB. I like the pot. How do you do the bottom? Mainly the indent on the floor?

I built this one with the indent being the floor. So the walls were built slight in of the floor. We will see if it holds up in the firing

I love the yellow pot except for the "ears". What is the intent? Are they in a particular style or traditional form?

Sorry, I mean no offense. I like the glaze and love the embossing, but the hardles in a style I'm not familiar with lose it for me :(

Basically it was my interpretation of a a very old pot I found in a bonsai pottery book. Apparently this would have originally been an incense burner. I just liked it and wanted to make it. No offence taken 😀
