Thats a Petra Engelke pot(wife of harry Thomlinson) isn't it Leigh?
And the broken one looks like one of a boxed series that came out in the 1960s and 1970s from japan.
Nice Fig too. I hope its going inside soon.

Re: Ficus Pressie
Hi Grant - the little porcelain one was one that I got from you - so you are probably right! And yes - the busted one was a significant pot - and yes....I am a little upset about it! Not much point in getting upset - the 1 year old wouldnt understand! 
Cheers,
Leigh.

Re: Ficus Pressie
it is an unfortunate accident leigh and these things happen too especially with kids, my little one grabs the little JBP mame i got in the little pot i won in the virt comp everytime she is outside, she loves it! you cant stop them complelty i know one day she is going to drop it or trip or something along those lines, but it happens! any chance of repairing it? i know it would never be the same but it could be close? maybe?
