One of my favorite pots

[Dav4]

Here are two more pots rocking the oribe glaze, one is a Sara Rayner and the other is a signed Yamafusa...

Paul,
Thanks for the science info on the pottery side of this. I've done quite a bit of research into this as well, but my knowledge base is still quite weak in comparison. I knew these were crystalline structures, what's amazing to me is the variability, I guess from different cooling rates, minerals, Ect. What's awesome to know about the Tofukuji pots that feature this glaze, is that they were all fired in either a friends kiln, or the local public kiln. No control over placement or cool rates...

I guess thats how I buy pots, those are very nice pots you got, this year "thanks to my wife" I was able to buy some pots, I went today also several hours from home, and got some japanese pots some just because I like them I'll get a tree for them eventually. this are Chinese but I like them

I really like the glaze on the third one.

My latest acquisition...120-150 yr old/Nakawatari period Chinese glazed...pretty much unblemished.

Dave the glaze is eye catching on that first one with the running blue with white speckles. I never see anything like that but have always looked for one. I usually find nice drip glazes similar but in greens and reds that are not really something you could picture any tree in. That one I could see my Pink Pixie Bougie in full flower in.

Not yet, but hoping to develop a palmatum to eventually go in it...maybe one of the Shishigashira I've started to grow.

Very nice, I really like the subtlety of that pot.

A few more, courtesy of Michael Ryan Bell.
First, a nice yellow glazed shohin from Aiba Koyo. The second is an older Chinese shohin pot, approx. 50 yrs old.

Nice! I love yellow pots. Looking forward to Ryan's visit here next month, though my accountant is not!

Here is a recent addition I blame Ryan for; red Sharaku.

That's a really beautiful pot, Brian. Outstanding!

I am glad this thread popped up again these are some gorgeous pots and a pleasure to see again. I would love to own some of them but I would have to install a security system or get a pit bull with aids to watch over them, it would kill me to lose something that nice and obviously expensive. I just had a few more plants walk away this winter, its getting to be a real pain in the ass. Now whenever someone comments on my Bonsai I think to myself is this bastard coming back to take this when I am gone ... I hate to be that way but I have had very few years that I have not lost at least one to theft or perhaps its just a black hole or a disturbance in the space time continuum .

I have always loved the voluptuous curves of the lotus type pots, and these new posted ones are just wonderful. I love yellow pots, and that red one - jeez.
But I always think, what would I put in it?

Jelly beans would be a "no go" in my house...my kids are more clumsy then me. Fwiw, I don't have any trees specifically for these pots (I have a problem, I know), but I AM potentially going to develop an Ume and a shimpaku to fit in each pot, respectively.
