I pay to use a ceramics studio for 3.5 hours every week. I have to drive to the studio four times to get a finished pot. Wood-fired pots cost me even more. A few pots people bought from me so far were sold at a loss :( .

Decided to checkout AusBonsai and found that I haven't been here for five years :palm:
I haven't given up pottery and here are some photos to prove it:

I don't know much about pottery, but I know I like pots so thank you for sharing yours.
PS - I particularly like the third one down. OK and the forth one!

Thanks for the comment. You are right, the fourth one is special because it has no glaze and what you see is a natural deposit of ash (green) and carbon inclusions (black). Completely unpredictable and unrepeatable. For me though, the first one is the most unique because apart from its glaze it has a deposit of blue ash. Usually, natural ash is white or green while the blue one is rare. Also, it's got glaze crystals on the rim, which is uncommon. Here are better pictures of this pot.

Pot 1 is phenomenal.

I messaged you recently on FB and you weren't selling any, but if you change your mind about that first one I'd love to add it to my collection.

Cheers,
Pearcy.

Am I the first to have a tree in a Lomov pot?

This Rosemary is in a pot that Boris fired for me three or four years ago. The glaze is all fly ash and it's been one of my favorite pots.

Thanks Paul, I knew I could depend on you :)

And Ken, after posting, I had a look at the first page of this topic and there discovered your earlier purchase of the Boris pot :( .
In my defence I should point out that my pot is still in one piece 8-)

Yes, wonderfully different pots. I like that they are unique and it would seem difficult to come upon.

I like all of them with 1, 4, 6 and 7 taking my eye.

Good stuff Boris and well done to those that have one and have then kept them in one piece! :palm:

That pot with the blue ash deposits is spectacular, certainly a very special colour

Do you have a website of your pots for sale Kigawa? I'm sure more than a few people would be interested in buying such beautiful pots
