Pat Kennedy pots

Post by Rory »

Some of these are new pots, or maybe he just hasn't made ones like these in a while. Either way they are here for your viewing pleasure.
I feel Pat is far too humble about showing his pots and displaying them. On the flip side he is amazingly critical of his pots, .... but this is why his pots are simply world class. :beer:

This emerald green pot is just the beez kneez. So lovely.
Pot2.jpg
I love this one, .... in quite a few years time I'll have an Acacia howitii ready for this beauty.

I love the hand-made look Pat gets on this smaller square pots.
Pot4.jpg
I apologize about this pot, but didn't notice until after I posted it, but I should have used the flash, it is a spectacular emeraldish green glaze as well.

I know a shohin competition casuarina that would love this pot. If I can reduce the roots enough. :beer:
Pot6.jpg
This has a lovely appeal look to it. Looks amazing when you see it. The pic doesn't do it justice.
Pot7.jpg
I just love this blue glaze Pat does. It is by far my favourite blue glaze on any bonsai pot of all time and is one of my favourite pots of all time too. The flecks of darker blue just bring this to life. :worship: Pat. This will definitely be for a Eucalyptus.

....and one of Graham's latest pieces of work. Beautiful.

lol That's funny. Hi Peter.... I'm a long time lover of your trees. :worship: I was hoping to meet you at the CBS show. Maybe another time.

Good point though. The size difference on an average egg vs those mega eggs can be substantial, so this was a poor choice of reference in hindsight.
Next time I'll use a beer.

FYI... don't display pots on your wifes special furniture. :palm: I had to strategically place ornaments afterwards to hide the scratch marks.
