AusBonsai

A friend of mine who is a very famous potter (Petrus Spronk) look it up, has made this little gem out of the blue for me. I asked him to make me a pot for my cascade Juni (which he is) and he replied that he has no idea about Bonsai. he came around and discussed dimensions and what am i looking for etc and out of the leftover clay he thought he would have a go at what he would like in a Bonsai pot. This is the result. The cascade pot will, hopefully, arrive next week. I cant wait. This guy was employed by the Koreans to teach them how to Burnish.

An interesting pot Bodhi, the low center may make it difficult to find a planting option perhaps "exposed root". On the other hand you might keep it as an interesting pottery piece without a tree. A few cushions and it could be a sofa

A couch for little people Naawww, you have to get your head out of the traditional thinking and let the imagination run wild. I cant wait to get a tree into it. i wonder if it has a hole in it. I only have the picture as yet and will pick it up this week. I dont even know how big it is A tree with lots of ramification and, wait for it, lots of moss to hold the soil in. This will be fun.

It is a nice pot, but I can't tell whether you would need to give the bonsai a remote control, or a pair of reigns.

Very interesting pot curious to see what you put in it Bodhi, it could make for a very cool design

Not sure how big the pictured pot is, but how about a mini landscape. Rocks and trees on the high sides, and maybe a little river running along the low sides with a bridge. To imitate a valley.

Let the artist come out.

Lovely texture there Bodhi

Yeah, bonbon it is good, I like it, I'm thinking of do something like this. I've a lovely Yuan rock from the Yellow River in China. Very heavy for it's size. Any don't you think a rocky landscape would suit your pictured pot. I do.

With the curves in the front wall, it might look good if the tree sat in quite a high rounded mound, covered in moss. Like what you said. Something elm-ey with lots of fine bare fingers in winter might look good with the combed decoration. Something not straight.

Surprise us!
