New pots by local potter in Sydney

Post by Qitianlong »

Hey all,

My lovely wife bought me some lovely Trident Maples last year, and I commissioned some pots to be made for them by a local potter in the Hills District of Sydney.
Here's a little look at what transpired:

Some interesting Textures and colours there
Thanks for showing.

Is Myrna a commercial potter or hobbyist?

Some very nice pots there.

I'm looking forward to seeing what the tridents look like after they are repoted into the bonsai pots.

Hi Ken,

She is commercial, but small scale. Myrna does many different styles of pottery, but especially enjoys creating bonsai pots for specific trees.

Thanks Goughi, I'll get some pics up at end of winter when I pot em all up.

Very interesting pots. I like them a lot. It seems though, that the holes are a little small in the pots.

I think they should be ok Bodhidharma, here's a slightly better pic for the holes...
