I'm lookin' for a pot

[dick benbow]

For my newly acquired red chojubai. I'm having no luck finding it locally, and while we have excellent local potters, this type of work is NOT their forte'.

So I thought if i pictured what I'd like anyone who has seen something like this around might let me know where

I see those kind of pots on ebay. I just don't know the reputation of the makers.

Dick, I really like your Chojubai! So I'd suggest taking your time when looking, however it's really fun to look for pots for your trees, so no harm there I'd suggest an older Japanese or Chinese pot

Here's some good resources, you can contact the sellers and tell them what you are looking for:

I've purchased from all these places except Japanese Bonsai Pots.net, and they were great.

Dick,
I personally, am beginning to expand my painting biz...
and I am considering starting to actually painting pots
such as the ones you have posted...

The problem being two fold... finding pots with a price
tag that I can then work on and make some money as well...
Which leads to the second... trying to keep the price affordable.

Sorry, to hijack your thread... but, I think there would be an
interest, what do you think ??? And second, if I am not getting
to personal, if so, obviously please don't answer...
What type of target price would you expect to pay for such a
pot as in your pics ???

Just trying to figue out if it would be worth it progressing into
this type of area, cause I know it is a limited field here in
America, and a neich that needs filling...
Thanks

Obviously you could PM me if you don't want to put it up here...
Also, I have a Chuck Iker pot that I recently painted... will post
soon.

Dick,
here is the real thing...

Saw,

Painting ceramics is fun Ive been doing it for years. It is very hard to get good at though, but if you are really good with a brush you can colaborate with a local potter to supply you with bisqueware, and do your thing and let someone else do the heavy work.

If I lived closer I would love such a partnership, because my brushwork is just above the caveman

Matt Ouwinga: Kaede Bonsai

I would highly recommend Matt. I have purchased serveral pots from him and been very happy with every container he delivered.

BigDave,
The real thing? Really? Drop me a line sometime, that's nothing more than the English language website of Yoshoen, whose Japanese site boasts "the real thing", but certainly not that one, it has literally 1% of of what Yoshoen had for sale, really just stuff Rie-San thinks will appeal to the western market.
As Dick knows, and I've clarified, these pots are Takao Koyo. He's really just starting out doing painted pieces(less than 5 years)! Although he's been A pro potter for decades. I have an upcoming post in works for him. You can view his work, and order
It, on the Koju en website, I reccomend a gander!

You missed it by a month. Someone was selling exactly what you wanted on eBay in sets of like 6 pots for super cheap.
