Green pots

[Smoke]

On the last couple days of a week long vacation. Uugh...

Went to the ocean for a week and found a succulent shop that had some hand made pots. I found a couple suitable for bonsai and snagged them up. The first is a wheel thrown three footed round pot suitable for a semi cascade. I have a trident maple semi that I am working on and this will be perfect for it.

The pot is about 7 inches tall and around 7 inches across the rim.

This medium rectangle was the only one like it. Most were free form or wheel thrown.

This pot is very crude and irregular. Rustic looking but subtle. The glaze on one side is rather thin and the tan clay body shows thru, while the other side is more opaque and the green glaze is thicker.

The pot is about 11" by 7" by 2 inches.

Nice pots. For your tridents, What is your fall color like ? Orange or red would contrast nicely with the glaze of the first pot

Interesting. The round looks a bit like stucco, and a nice green color.

I don't get good fall color on tridents here. By the time the real cold hits, the leaves have fallen. Once and a while I get a early cold snap to start the sugars changing but that is not very often. I don't get good cold nights till Dec.

These look like nicely crafted pots Al.

Do you know who the artist is?
