Sometimes things don't go the way they should.
For my Pinus Cembra I was looking for a new pot for a long time. The pot that had caught my eye was a pot from the Austrian potter Horst Heinzlreiter. I have had some pots from Horst and I found the round pot with number 1480 particularly suitable for my tree. Only .... this pot was sold.
I have asked Mr. Heinzlreiter to make a pot for me similar to pot no. 1480.
In february of this year 'my' pot was ready, but I immediately got the message from Horst that more similar pots would come out of the kiln in short term. So if I was patient, I could choose the most suitable pot.
Wich of course, I did.
However, the pots that came out of his kiln were broken, so I ordered the pot that was initially made for me.
Unfortunately, that pot had meanwhile been sold to Ryan Neil. (I just heard today from Horst that Ryan bought this pot). On Ryan's website I did indeed see 'my' pot:
The pot has since been sold from Ryan's stock. Of course I asked Horst to make a new one for me, but the kiln is broken and Horst can no longer make his glazes.
I think there is little chance that I will get this pot back from the USA, but I definitly wil give it a try. Meanwhile, time is running out. I want to have the pots for the next spring on time. Now I have to look for a good pot at the last minute.
And any pot will be less beautiful than Horst's pot.

Textured Round No. 39
This textured round by renowned Austrian ceramicist Horst Heinzlreiter shows off Horst's brilliant surfacing technique which he masterfully uses to create incredible depth and dimension in his containers. The shifting hues and varying colors come from multiple applications of color to the...
