My parents were very into Southwest culture when I was young. They spent much time in Santa Fe and Taos and the surrounding areas. There was a very famous artist who passed away some years ago that made a certain style of pottery quite famous. Now mind you I am extremely ignorant with regard to pottery but I was wondering if anyone has tried or thinks they could try her style of pot. I believe it is a type of reduction firing. They would make stunning bonsai pots for the right plant.
Here is the link to the story of these pots:

As you can see this set is valued at $45k-$50k
Please respond with your thoughts regarding the suitability of this technique and look for bonsai.
If you don't know what I am talking about here is an example of her work:
Edit-- Just to be clear, I am not talking about the style of these jars. I am talking about the black coloration of of the pot which is due to the firing technique used.
