Some pots for the new gallery

Hi Dale,
an interesting piece.
Unfortunately, I have no idea about it, something I've never held in my hand.
In Germany it is strictly forbidden to possess such a thing.

OK, some new pots.
Here are a couple unglazed dragon and goldfish pots

a couple shohin pots with some glaze experiments

A yellow shohin
and
a neat two-glaze triangular grass pot

A dry riverbed pot with a cream glaze

Hi Dale!

Beautiful pots
What makes this silky, if it does not gloss?

These are lovely pots! The Dragon and the Gold Fish are especially appealing as a combination of earthy clay with the design.
I've been scouring youtube today for inspiration.
It's a treat to see those nice pots and glazing experiments.
Do people use Soda Fired ware for Bonsai?
This week I bought my first Bonsai candidate (rangpur lime) at the local Yamagami's Nursery in Cupertino.
They have nice selection of starter plants but only two pots in a cupboard and some nice tools for bonsai.

A few more Commissioned pots.
Some BIG Dry Riverbed pots.

first is a banded DRB a little over 15 1/2" ( 42cm) across

I made two commissioned large DRB style bunjin pots with very rustic clay. They came out quite nice.
Here is the largest about 16" X 3 1/4" deep inside.
All three of these pts have some great flame coloration spots on them.

The third one.
A little darker. Same clay and DRB finish.
About 1/2" smaller in diameter than the first one.
I have a shot of the type bottoms I trim in which I've explained before.
Also some nice flame coloration on this one.

I don't quite understand your question? Sorry?

Wonderful Dragon pot Dale. You could sell those by the container load in Wales. Here's our National flag.

Cool flag!
That IS VERY similar!
The container load huh? Hmmmm!
I have several more other dragons in various stages of completion.

I like the direction you have been taking with your pots lately Dale. Any decisioin on your being at the National Arboretum this spring?

Yes, I'll be there....hoping the weather is better than last year. Sales are very weather dependent there.
Every year it's a toss-up for me though what with the outside tent and the Nat. Arb fee now on top of the tent fee.
The one year I skipped there were fewer vendors, weather was like 85 and was first year for continual speakers in adjoining tent areas and everyone did GREAT. Figures

I will almost certainly count as one customer

Thanks guys.

COOL new stuff I love the fish and would bet those dragons will be very popular.

Dale

Excellent they survived, glad there was no curse of showing the greenware Really like the new pots. Would love to see some in a red/terracotta clay body

Thanks for showing and all the best

Andy

Hope a few of these (and more like them) are coming to the MidAtlantic Bonsai Societies festival in April. Of course, if you sell them first I'll have more money for other things...

Mike,
MidA is first show of season.....lots of pots!
