My wife inspired Charlie Parker to make these for us. That’s horse hair fired into the pot. What do you think?

I think they look really cool. Plus, I grew up having a couple horses, so to incorporate part of your horse into them is pretty awesome.

Well, it’s not our horse, just horse hair.

It’s not THE Charlie Parker, but he is Charlie Parker, he’s a local artist here in the St. Pete area of Florida.

Cool pots! Are they raku-fired (I've only seen horse hair raku pots)? I would love to document his work on my website of American bonsai potters - see my signature for the link. Is there any way I could use these photos for the site? All photo credit would go to you on the site. If so, do you also have a picture of his signature or makers stamp on the bottom of the pots? Good stuff!

Not sure about how it’s fired. Here is his signature, and don’t worry about giving me credit, you can use all of the photos.

They look cool, are they Raku fired? This technique is must commonly used in Raku firing and is very delicate for bonsai.

Nice decorative pieces, but not for real bonsai use, I'd imagine. Raku finishes tend to be fragile and probably wouldn't last long under constant water, fertilizer and sun...it also tends to porous, which would be a disaster if it's out in winter temps.

The outside is sealed and we live in Florida. And again, not sure if it’s Raku.

Thank you, sir! Appreciate you letting me use your photos - I already have them uploaded to the site and published. Really cool pots!
