Hi all,
Here is an email regarding a mystery pot. It is very lovely and not small at around 45cm. Anyone recognise the pot or potter. It is being donated to the NBPCA
(Hi Grant,
Here are the photos of the mystery pot. The logo has a bonsai sketch inside the map of Australia. I asked the donor if she knew the origin and she does not. She thought it might have been Bruce Finley (although she did not remember his name, she referred to him as someone who used to sell pots at our shows, which Bruce did). She does not think the SJW is Shirley White as she did not recall buying any pots from Shirley. One pot has B34 SJW on it.
I hope Lindsay can shed some light.
XXXXX)

Hi Grant,
I'm sorry I can't offer any assistance on identifying it, but it certainly is very nice

That looks similar to the one we now have.
I hope someone knows for sure.
