Like other photo thread rules: don’t make a post in here unless it has a photo! Except, it has to be a pot you own, by Nao Tokutake, and it has to be in use. I’d love to see what y’all have!

I’ll start:

This is a Red Huckleberry in a modest lil pot by Nao. I think I bought it from him in late 2018.

I have a few other Tokutake pots but they’re not yet in use. Hopefully I’ll correct that soon enough!

@NaoTK is that a Praseodymium Yella?

I need a yella like that.

Thank you Reid, what a great idea to support potters everywhere!

This is a princess persimmon forest I recently put together in a 26" tray by some loser

No I cheated. It's a barium iron yellow with some stain added! I do want to try that praseodymium look. Nickel looks really good too.

One of his practice pots for one of my practice trees . I love it . How's my pot coming for my winged elm ,ha ha ?
Oof! Did that crack happen after you bought it? Your pot has been made, but its just waiting for an empty spot in the kiln because its soo big.

I collected the hawthorn at a MAX station near my house. They grow like weeds in Oregon, as you know.

You're lucky! I have no "weeds" like that over in this area that I am aware of. I did collect 4 bigger ones in late spring with Idaho collectors. They are struggling with the weather now. I have them tented and in almost all shade, plus mist twice per day. Three look good but the big one, not so much. Love to find a bunch of seedlings like you have.
