SPECIAL PROCESS ~ OUR SIGNATURE FINISH
This stoneware is our finest work. These pots are
crafted from reddish brown or gray clay. Our special process creates a surface
effect that is subtle, yet strikingly exquisite, like that of deep grained
burnished leather or the appearance of having been hewn from fine-grained
marbled granite. They must be seen to be appreciated. The process is very labor
intensive and all is done by hand. This process creates ancient pots right from
the kiln!

Penjing Pots

Tall cascade
pot |
Popular Penjing (Chinese bonsai) cascade and oval pots.
As imports they are now hard to get from overseas
distributors. I get great response mine at shows. Now
you can order them from us, high fired and more durable
than the imports. Cascades with taper are frost/winter
hardy. Because the ovals have recurved sides they should
not be allowed to freeze.
I will maintain some sizes in stock , however. it is
best you assess your needs and order well in advance
(months ahead for larger pots). Important! please ignore
the 'legs' when measuring and ordering ovals and
cascades. |
These are great pots adding diversity and interest to
the art form!
Penjing
pots, order by phone or email.
Important!
please ignore the 'legs' when measuring and
ordering ovals or cascades. We need approximate diameter
and height for cascades . Approximate length, width,
and depth for ovals. You will receive an appropriate
cost quote and availability without obligation to you.
Items are all handmade and deliberately designed to vary
slightly and be 'one of a kind'. View pottery

What Others are
Saying
"I like the special process pots very much, especially
for bunjin, literatti, and cascade styles. They beautifully compliment very
strong and powerful trees. Unique!" Marian Borchers, owner
of Bonsai Garden, Tampa, Fla., and past president of the Tampa Bonsai Club
(Hukyn).
"The special process pottery incorporates traditional
Japanese designs with a unique and innovative finishing process. These are both
handsome and well suited to the art. They offer an original approach to the
bonsai container industry and work well with a wide variety of plant materials
and styles." Randy T. Clark, Past President, Minnesota
Bonsai Society, past Managing Editor of 'Bonsai Magazine', and owner of the
Bonsai Learning Center in North Carolina.

New! Stoneware Slabs
Our stoneware slabs take
the place of slate and granite slabs;
they have ample drainage holes and/or tie in holes.
They have an exquisite natural texture!
Their designed concavity makes them as easy to use as
shallow
ovals or rectangles.
Remember, when a slab is shown it can be position
oriented (to the viewer) to display the planting to its
best by turning it as needed.
Something that is artistically awkward with ovals or
rectangles that did not get potted perfectly. |
Various sizes and shapes will be in stock.
Or we can custom make a slab from a sketch if you have a
preferred form (order well in advance) . Or just request
an approximate length, width, and average depth ( please
order well in advance). You will receive a no obligation
quote and/or in stock availability. Please
email us or call
1-800-528-2827.
