New Ino...thanks Matty O. This one was in Ryan's blog the day after I bought it. 12.5" wide, nice blue glaze.

I have a love/hate relationship with this thread.... When I see it pop up again, my eyes start to twitch.... you know what I mean.
That is a beauty, and a great size/shape!

Yep, it's on the big side for Ino containers. I think this ROR trident will go well in it. I've been working on developing a killer nebari spread around the base of the stone as the key feature, so it will go nicely in a shallow pot.

Ino is known for his glazes, and this one is exceptional due to the color. On top of that, Ino seems to have a distinctive style shaping his rectangles. That, coupled with the wonderful patina really gives this one an "old" or wabi sabi feel to it...love it.

Thanks, I really dig your blue with the oil drops...still hope to see it in person one day.

I thought I'd post a few pictures of this pot I purchased this past spring. It's Tokoname, by Shuho. It's 14" by 11" by 2.5", so a descent size, and I absolutely love the glaze. As with most of my nicer pots, I didn't have a tree in mind when I purchased it. I think it would look great with the right azalea, but of course, I don't have an azalea that would ever go with the pot...maybe one of my palmatums, but not for a few years. Honestly, I'll be happy looking at it on my cabinet for the next 30 plus years...my bedroom is now a cat free zone
How much do these pots go for?

I purchased this pot about a decade ago and paid around 200 dollars US for it....I suspect it's one of the least expensive pots pictured in this thread...

Damn that's pricey, but guess you pay for what you get

There are pots in this thread that will sell retail for upwards of 5 times what that first pot cost me. Good pots are often times very expensive.

It is very good craftmanship

A few other Ino pots I've picked up through auctions this year. The glaze on both is much more subtle then usual, and further softened by the decades old patina. The top one is a smidge over 12" wide while the shallower is 10.5".
