A new glaze that I have been experimenting with applied to this pot that was commissioned by a friend for a Calicarpa bonsai which has mauve coloured berries in the autumn and early winter. I think the colour will suit it well. I hope soon to do some variations with this glaze which looks 'promising'. I've been struggling for some time trying to create a mauvey coloured glaze and think I may have 'cracked' it at last (bad choice of words: 'cracked'!!!).

Hi Dan

Another creation of a lovely pot...............BRILL

Dan

I have had the same problem with mauve pots, not an easy feat by any means





Really good to see your work

All the best and regards to Ci

Andy

Yes, this is a very promising glaze Dan.

It has all the right characteristics; depth, movement, and it is nicely variegated.

Mauve is a color that I have not yet experimented with.

I look forward to seeing what variations you develop from this.

Cheers,
Paul

A few more of the many 100s of accent pots that Cecilia (my wife) and I make. Some of my personal favourites posted below:

That Gold Nugget pot is certainly interesting!
I love the crackle white!
Dan, how many of those can you get in a kiln load?

Hi Dale,
Anything from 60 - 100 depending on size and whether or not I have any regular bonsai pots to include.

The second blue one is just amazing!

loveable mini pots .............

Many thanks for all of the kind and encouraging comments — much appreciated.

Here are a few more 'embellished' pots that may be of interest:

Wow, as usual, great glazes, forms and designs

You have a real creative element to your pottery; thanks for sharing them here with us!

Hi Libby,

The external measurements of the pot are: 8" x 8" x 13.5" and it is currently planted up with my cascade hawthorn which was started as a bonsai from a tiny collected seedling in the year that I began in the hobby (1969). My apologies for the compromised display stands..... I'd lent my usual stand for this tree to a friend. The tree measures 30" and the picture was taken a year or so ago. I still have to build up the foliage density in the lower branches of the tree (even after 42 years in training!!!).

Dan

You still da man beautiful as always

See you in two weeks

Regards

Andy

Dan,
I really like the white one with the orange dots/flowers.
The others are superb aswell ofcourse.

Hi Dan

........ and a few more! The first two pots were the largest I've ever made, each requiring more than a 12.5 kgs bag of clay. They were for an American bonsai enthusiast. The middle pot was the most difficult pot I've made to date. All 5 pots were coil built with slab bases.

Dan,
You are an inspiration to potters and artists alike. Your pieces evoke a sense of beauty for all who see them!

BTW, great use of coil technique I must say..

A few "Shohin" pots that came out of my kiln this week....... it was fun making them even though it was very fiddly! They were all commissioned by someone in America.

Very nice, Dan! I'm a big fan of your work.
