Stone Monkey Ceramics Collector's Pot 2009

This year's collector's pot from Stone Monkey Ceramics is entitled "The Tao of Bamboo" I was inspired by antique Chinese Pots that I saw from daily trips to the Victoria & Albert museum in London, just round the corner from where I do my day job.
As with last years collectors pot it will come in a bespoke handmade box with a silver Stone Monkey chop set in the lid. Here are a couple of taster pictures, more will follow prior to the release date of 01/10/09 see www.stonemonkeyceramics.co.uk for more details
This years pot has a little something extra as two of the bamboo leaves on each panel of the pot have been permanently fused and plated in 99.9% pure silver.





Many thanks for looking

Kind regards

Andy

Very nice, Andy. I've just been to your website and seen last years. Also very nice. Pity it's gone. Sigh.
I've signed up for your newsletter and sent you an e-mail, so go check it out immediately!

Hi Andy... any chance of bringing the pot to Burrs for us all to see?

Looks really good, what are the dimentions?

Hi Tony

The size is approx 8 x 6 x 2.5" internally. As with last years pot it will be up for auction on my website from the 1st Oct to 1st Nov then the highest bid wins so hopefully it will be sold before Burrs, sorry

I will have a chat with you at this years Burrs about having a "Burrs Pot"

All the best

Andy

That look a lovely pot. Congratulations on the effort and skill. i may have to see if there enough pennies in the jar to make a bid.........

Best wishes
Dave Martin

Hi Andy,

This pot can be distinguished from an ancient Chinese pot does not,
you're sure that it is not the original?

Peter

Very nice Andy, hope this one stays in Europe, so all of us can see on exhibit one day

I have been lucky enough to see this pot, at various stages, in the flesh and it is beautiful. I don't think that my penny jar will stretch to buy this little beauty.

Andy
I know that you had a few wobbles along the way mate but it's a fantastic pot and you should be really pround of your achievement

Love, Peace & Bananas,
