It's a cracker of a pot, I dread to think what it'll go for by the end though.
I'm happy to have a Triskle pot already with another hopefully on the way from this last release albeit a bit more moderately priced.

Thanks for posting this Mel. That's a wonderfully crafted pot; different - to be sure. I'm not on Facebook so I can't access the link but I imagine it's being auctioned.(
Yeah I know - I think it's me and one other person in the world not on Facebook!) Regardless - my ignorance is again exposed - I went in search of Tom Benda (who?) and then found myself lost in the European Bonsai Potter Collective. I love the way this collective celebrates the art of the pot. Then I got to this link -
https://www.europeanbonsaipottercollective.com/blog. I know that it's not going to be to everyone's liking but I thought it was very, very clever. Indeed, before I read any text I flicked to the photos and immediately thought to myself "Lord of the Rings" - then I read the text. Anyway check it out ... from the tree to the pots, to the details to the carved stand. Impressive stuff.
(*I think I just fixed the link too - my initial post may not have worked.)

Good to know you've managed to snag a few Triskele pots Starfox!
Mark, I've enjoyed dealing with the European Pot collective over the past couple of years, and the blog is definitely worth a read!
So come on guys, make a bid!
