Amazing Chinese Erotic Pot's

[Bretts]

Sorry for the slow replies All. It is not the idea to keep ya's in suspense.
I probably should have brought this subject up with better introduction/grace and thanks to Bougy we can have another try.

Here is how Peter introduces these pots and a very beautiful example


Melatonin goodbye, the spring comes, and with him the joy of life.

LISTEN, THE NIGHTINGALE
IN THE BLOSSOMS, AND THE FROG,
CROAKING IN THE WATER –
DOES NOT EACH OF THEM SING ITS SONG,
LIKE THE POET DOES HIS POEM?
... and the painter does his painting, the potter his jug? Like this, one could continue the spring poem of an unknown japanese artist. For sensible people spring is not only a feast for the eyes in the flowing world of creation and decay. It is fireworks for all senses, the great symbol of creation.
Shunga, which are also called spring pictures, are one facette of japanese art. They have the same power and mysterious magic as tea ceremony, the art of gardens and poems (Haiku, Tanka) for example and they are still highly appreciated in modern Japan. Spring pictures often have a double meaning. They are erotic illustrations that, in combination with the great adoration of nature, show an exhilarated lightness.
Often little erotic books were made from Shunga that men put discreetly beneath the pillow of their adored ones but they were also used as illustrations of various novels and plays.
Some scenes contain elements of caricature. The pleasures of love are universal and around the planet artists have pictured them freely, in which way ever, veiled or unveiled.

I had seen some pots of Peter's before but along with these pots I realised he is doing some amazing work.

Since my interest was sparked I have found Peters work to be very interesting. He seems to enjoy pushing (to the point of no compromise) his art/skill very much like chinese potters yet uses original concepts.

As was said earlier $500 is probably a fair price for a set of 4 small pots that have been created with little regard for the time spent creating them. And they come with linen cloth and wooden box But more than I can spare at the moment

It is a pity I have only seen his "basic" pots shown off with trees in them. But you can see some of his most amazing work here

Nice one Matt !!!
Peter krebbs is a super cat !!! i am proud to own one of his pots and cat imagine how any of his art is forbidden ???
OK so there a couple of illustrations that show genital content and sexual penetration... This is erotica NOT porn !!! I would have no prob with my children at any age seeing these and answering any questions they may have about it !!! If this is forbidden for your family so should the internet! This is a Bonsai forum not a kindergarden, although one would wonder sometimes...

I tend to agree with Bougy here.
Inappropriate Content is considered to be any topic that would be unacceptable in a talk to a Year 8 class.

I am not sure all parents would be happy with all of Peter's images in a year 8 class and see no reason those wishes should not be respected.
Just as I would respect the wishes of Antal to allow his kids to view them.
