ron lang pot

just got a update from ron lang on a one of a kind pot he is making for me it a rectangle with a slightly bowed walls and cut corners

Very nice! What are you going to put in it?

That looks like a great match; nice tree!

That's a sharp looking pot, and should go great with the tree. Looks like some great workmanship on both.

thank you for the complement todd and lackhand

I beg to differ. That pot will not enhance the tree you have planned for it one bit. I do have a solution, however. I am not too far from Mr. Lang's studio, and I volunteer to allow him to ship it to me instead, saving you all that angst and frustration were you to receive it and see it in person. Please advise.

As Gramma used to say...

O lordy !

Just sayin...

Lordy if you want one call Ron cause when he made that one for me he also made a straight walled version. Maybe he will sell it to u. And by the way pots are not ment to enhance trees just as tree are not ment to enhance pots they are ment to be an equal balance for each other

I actually got a pot from Ron at the last show at the Nat. Arb. It will no doubt enhance my old Kingsville. I think I also got a Lang pot from RockM last spring in a package deal. I think I may be a bit lopsided with pots right now. Gotta either thin the herd or get more trees...

I would get more tree if you ask me but I'm in the same boat I've been stock piling nick Lenz pots so I have to get more trees to put in them

Hello Andre,

That sounds like a great idea! I say, post more pots of both artists (Lang and Lenz). There work is highly respected, and of great quality. I would love to see them represented here.

Just sayin!

Thanks,
Rob

this is actually my first lang pot and as for posting lenz pots i don't think people really want to see me post more lenz pots granted nick is one of favorite potters. but i did just get in the mail was a really nice pot from Tony Remington

Actually the pot is fine the tree is the problem. Send me the tree and I'll be glad to send a more suitable tree.

naw the tree is good it was actually designed by Michele Andolfo last summer
when i got the tree

after design is executed

still needs some years to fill out and refine

just got a picture of the finished pot what do you think???

I like the pot but is that a crack in the lower corner of the pot in the second picture?

Beautiful pot!

reddog i highly doubt its a crack and dale that means a lot coming from a great potter as yourself thank you

Andre, don't get defensive. Ron's pots are some of the best in the country. In your opinion what do you think the small crevice is? It's a nice container and I know it is not inexpensive.

reddog i wasn't getting defensive i just don't think its a crack if anything i think maybe it wasn't blended there or when it dried before firing i have no clue but i plan on looking at it more once i get it in the mail ron mailed it out today or yesterday. i have faith in ron he wouldn't sell it if it was defective. mind you this is my first time doing business with ron and i've heard nothing but good things about his pots and him so i'll keep my fingers crossed till i get it in the mail and can look at that closer. but i also see the same crevice in the pictures he sent me before he fired the pots who knows

My guess is that is definitely Not a crack. It is a surface flaw in the clay, given that the irregularity is on part of a border.

I have known Ron for many years and know he would not ship a defective pot. I urge you to contact Ron if you are concerned.

ive talked to ron but not about that cause i have no concern about that any way cause i plan on using the other side of the pot as the front anyhow out of sight out of mind i guess
