Is that white bubble glaze a commercially available glaze or your own concoction? (feel free to DM if you prefer not to divulge publicly. )

It's a commercial glaze I believe from Amaco.

Love your pottery work, so much detail in a pint size pot. While I think I will never have a mame tree, I have been looking at buying one of your pots. Can access from work, but the last time I checked from the house they are all sold out. When do you think you will have more available for sale?

Thanks for the kind words! Mame is a whole different animal. They become very addictive after you get one going. You air layer a nice branch and you have an instant mame, that's what I like most about them. You can get some really cool stuff in a small pot in short time.

As for the pots, I make them on my spare time usually at night. The last batch I put up sold out pretty much within the same week. The problem is that they take a considerable amount of time to make, then more time to bisque fire, glaze, and then glaze fire. To make a decent size batch to fire takes months.

I am currently working on the next batch that will be my special batch.......going for a 100 pot batch. This is going to take me a couple more months to complete........I think......I hope, lol.

I just watched the video of the unboxing (I follow the Yamasibon Kiwa YT channel) and I immediately had to think about this topic.
It was a nice surprise to see your pots show up in this unboxing video.
