I have been an admirer of pots by Vic Harris, an English potter who mostly makes pots on commission but of course makes others as well. He has made a series of pots for one of England's professional bonsai artists for subjects such as Hawthorn, Privet and English Elm.
This year I bought myself a pot that reminded me of Vic's pots, but had a distinctly Australian flavor. The pot is by Graham Cook and the photo is attached. I intend to put a tree into it next year so I will keep you posted.

Re: My New Pot
Hi Watto,
Are you going to put an Australian native in the pot? It has the rugged look that would suite our natives. Very nice acquisition.
Regards Ray

Re: My New Pot
Its a bit of a "copy cat" move actually Ray. I have an old privet that I want to carve and put in the pot.
