Some pots for the new gallery

Hi Dale

This are again good unusual pots, Good work as always.

Best regards
Peter

Here are a few more of the hand-carved mame pots carved from solid blocks of clay. These are VERY time consuming so the available numbers will be small, especially for the larger sizes I showed earlier..

I was really suprised by the small amount of pots I got made since my last show but the things I've been working on are very time consuming so numbers are smaller than I'd like.

I made some VERY dark pots with a lot of reduction of the clay ( I fell asleep on the couch while doing a reduction run for 1 1/2 hours!) but I really like the colors.
Here is an oval that the photo just doesn't do justice. BTW, I'm 'new camera' shopping!



And a Dry Riverbed bunjin with flame marks...



and something new, a woodgrained bunjin pot with drips.

Another new "JJ" pot. I really like these but pretty time consuming.

I've been working on various designs of scoop pots attached to slabs/water areas. Several in the works and one nice one broke in a stupid accident. Here is the smallest/least fancy water area I made. This one is a bit over a foot long I think.

good work,i like it and could i order from you???im from the phil. and this is alex,thanks

Alex, I could ship to the phillipines, but shipping is very expensive out of the country. I've shipped to Europe, UK and Australia and packing/shipping/insurance is a killer especially if a bigger pot!

Dale

Here is a large gray/green satin oval with carving about 17".

This is a large, low bunjin/literai DRB pot with my green ash glaze made with ashes from our fireplace.

A 'Dry Riverbed' pot made with a white clay.

I like that green one a lot!

Edit: The second green one.

Thanks Preston

I've been doing some shohin leaf pots in porcelain and other white clays. Here are a few.

I had a commission for a Dry Riverbed bunjin/literati pot with inside measurements at the lip of 15-16" and 3-4" deep inside.
I made FIVE.
Here are the first 3 out of the kiln. Two are my own ash glazes and one unglazed.
The nicest one ( in the exact size requested) I glazed with a neat shino. It is firing right now and it should be cooled in a couple days. The other one in the kiln is another ash glazed.

white porcelain pot with red and black

Hey Dale,

That red & black is just stunning, send it my way

Matt

Thanks Matt,

Here is a Dry Riverbed pot with green.

Here are a few carved shohin pots in different shapes.
This is a new idea I'm developing which is a mixture of thrown, altered and carved pots.
I'm going to call these "Wrecked (rect.) Pots" since most start life as some type of rectangular shape and go from there to rect, square, oval or lotus. I'll be doing a lot of these in varios sizes in the future. These are all shohin size. I'm working on some larger ones now.

This Dry Riverbed round is a reversal of the usual colors, it's got a brown glaze over white clay ( cracks)



and here is one more of the 5 pots i made for a commissioned order.
A large DRB round with a third ash glaze.

Here is another Japanese Maple leaf cascade. Two views

I can tell you are looking....

The counter goes up!

Here is the last of the 5 DRB bunjin I made. This one measures 15" across inside and 4" deep inside. It is a darker burnt orange shino.



and here is a rustic unglazed pot with a red drip.

I don't usually make pots this fancy,but here are two white porcelain pots with a blue ash glaze. It's more striking on the white porcelain than on the clays I usually use it on.
