What an amazing accomplishment, shows what can be done when you have the innate talent and drive!

What an honor to have taken that prize. One so deserving as well. With what he and his family faced last year. He sooooo deserved recognition for his quality pots.

Beautiful pots! Congratulations Roy.

Very good, Roy!

being accepted to enter is an accomplishment...

Winning a prize is like breaking down the door and yelling "Heeeres Johnny". Congratulations.

I believe Andrew Pearson of Stone Monkey Ceramics, U.K., was the first Westerner to show and win.

Modern Pot Competition Gold Award at the 40th Gafu Ten in 2015, and this display took Gold!

Nonetheless, congrats Roy

It is a fine point, but Andy won gold for UNglazed. Roy is, as @MACH5 said, the first westerner to win GLAZED.

I don't think one diminishes the other in any way.
