Brightside Bonsai Pots

[BrightsideB]

Really trying to make this style work. Thicker and thinner pots warp and pull were thicker and thinner area’s meet. It’s possible but takes some finesse to achieve. I really love how this one came out. I had done a lot of forms similar in steel back in the blacksmithing days. Wanted to share with y’all!

Thanks! My favorite pots are ones that look like it could have been apart of an old shipwreck submerged for years.

Would have to go measure it to get exact numbers but it’s like an 11”x 8”x 2”.

Love how this photo came out. Is indicative of my style thus far and all the pots glazed with glazes I made from raw materials. If interested I have a sale going on Etsy.

Have any more rectangles that aren’t currently listed? I would be happy to get a two+ pots to qualify for the sale, but I’m pretty full on ovals and rounds currently. If not, no worries, I’ll get one in the future.

The last one was just swooped up this morning. The only ones not online have a couple hairline cracks in them. But I have many in the works. Thanks for asking!

Ahh man, don't give me a reason to buy your pots right now ;P

Damn Robert, this one is slick; the unglazed, the design... the craftsmanship. If you ever make more, maybe 5 or 6 inch ones shoot me a message.

Thanks! I’ll make a couple and let you choose. Let’s figure out the dimensions. I’m really liking the color I’m getting out of these.

Cascade made like the rim is sliding down the pot.

With a lot of hard work and dedication. My slab building has improved significantly. And finally it is starting to feel comfortable. And with that comes more creativity and definition in the future.

11 1/2" L x 8 1/2" W x 3" H




13" L x 9 1/4" W x 3 1/2" H


13" L x 9 1/4" W x 3 1/2" H


8" W x 5 1/4" H

I really love this style pot. Great job. I don't own any of your pots yet but one day I will! The new pots you posted are awesome also. Like @Colorado said I really like the cut-corner rectangle.

Thank you! I will be doing more. They take some finesse because of the the varying degree of thickness in the walls. Will have more to come!
