Some pots for the new gallery

Hi Dale,

these are reflected typical "Dale Cochoy pots"

The first pot is very expressive.

The drum pot also bears your signature.

Best regards
Peter

Thanks guys.

Go back one page and check out the bamboo pots that are finished.
Here is a better colored shot of the oval bamboo and the rivet bamboo showing the new clay mix in a truer color.

Here is a shot of the inside of the above white 'dry riverbed' pot with three clays.
and
a carved land & water log for shohin.

How about a few shohin pots with some glaze experiments?

Three more 'Dry Riverbed Pots'

Hello Dale,

Sorry for the confusion of names, I've improved it.

Your new photos on your pots are very good effect.

Best regards
Peter

Thanks Peter.

How about a large slab built cascade with subtle shading and 'splatters'?

Here is a slab built rectangle about 14" long in a cool green with3-D leaf motif on both sides.

I hope you all enjoyed the pictures of some of my latest work.

Hi Dale.

Nice pots! Especially the dry riverbed ones. Do you have a website?

Oh, and my wife thinks the small pot with white glaze dripping from it looks like a Christmas pudding or a profitterole! See what I have to put up with.

FYI, I actually like that small pud. It's just ugly enough to be handsome.

Thanks Harleyrider. I liked that little goopy pot also. I wonder if I can get those to do that if I WANT THEM TOO??
What type Harley? I made a real dent in these pots at a show last weekend.....and payed off my wifes HD today!!
I should have a blog soon, I think I can handle that better than a website.

My stuff made it home fine. Thanks.

Classy...

Wish shipping costs were as interesting as Tokoname's

Keep up the good work, I might win at the "Loto" one day

and not just when I'm collecting suiseki.

I just loved these pots when I saw them at the MidAtlantic Bonsai Societies festival. I could only buy one, but this is what I did with it.



The tree is coming along nicely. I can't wait til the tree is good enough that peoples' first reactions won't be "nice pot!"

Another portulacaria in a dry riverbed pot. Interesting.

Thanks Mike,
Good looking portulacaria. It's actually 'styled' You rarely see that.
I noticed you were one of the 'missing' this year at Rochester?

Dale

Velodog,
They actually DO get used for other things.

The Texas Ebony ( pretty large) and Korean boxwood are older trees of mine that went to a friend/helper and then he used DRB pots with them. The pot with the boxwood was a 'second' that I gave him.
The shimp is a tree I got him elsewhere and he used a DRB pot with.
Dale

Thanks Dale. It's a first styling, but has a few years to go. I'm hoping to emulate Jim Smith's portulacarias. Those are well-styled trees.

Missed Bill's because I had a Friday night obligation. Didn't make sense to make the five hour drive on Saturday morning. The early September date has never been kind to people with kids in school.

Now that I have a tree in that pot I need to know when you have more available...

Thanks for the pics Dale. I thought it was interesting that the only two DRB's I'd seen in use prior (one being my own) contained the somewhat unusual Portulacaria bonsai. With those pots desert-y appearance I do think they look especially good with the succulent type of foliage.

Mike,
Pots sold well at Rochester this year. I'll have more of this type at Asheville in a couple weeks. Only about a 15 hour, or so, drive each way for you! An easy trek for fine pots!
Yes, Jim Smith's portulacarias are indeed fantastic, Folks who say they will never make good bonsai just simply haven't seen some of the ones we've seen in Florida. I have several pics of Jims that I took at his home display, but, this one just knocked my socks off . It was on display at a BSF convention a couple years ago. It was....huge!


Velodog,
getting pics of peoples trees in your pots is far easier said ( or requested) than done! Believe me!

Dale

Velodog,
Here is one a friend just sent me
Dale



He also sent along a picture of a purple bougie he got from me with the oval pot I made specifically for him . His wife ordered it as a Christmas present.
