Does keeping them outside help to give them an 'aged' appearance? Or is it better to keep unglazed pots in the weather? Also that's awesome!

Nice collection John, I love the surfboard, I have had a coffee table one before but I might use that idea :yes:

Where are the glazed pots?
It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

A row of Pyrus and a retaining wall so sharp that you could cut bread with it, someone's a landscaper.

Cheers,

Short answer is yes, keeping pots outside in the weather CAN help give the "aged" look and help with patina. There is another "step" you could take once the pots are outside too, which will help even more
