Nice, you have made a very nice start. I particularly like the texture of the dark gray almost black with yellow highlights over a ''basket weave'' texture. I like the texture.

Your pots are definitely better than anything I have done, so don't view my suggestions as criticism. Just trying to be helpful.

Looks like you are having trouble with your containers warping. Your rectangle looks like it does not sit flat. I don't know how to fix that, but look into it.

Study the proportions of refined Japanese pots. Particularly depth versus horizontal width and length dimensions, your pots look deeper than typical, which makes them look less refined.
