2020 Pot Acquisitions

[Hartinez]

It was. So you have four coming from him? I had wondered if he was the France Potter. Well done! Can't wait to see them.

I do. And honestly, after that order, I decided to take a bit of a break. I knew shipping would be a lot, but it ended up more than I thought. Im excited to get them though! His style is so cool and different.

Another club member friend who is a helicopter pilot for the navy, was stationed in Japan last year and has put together a little collection of pots to send me. All of these for $125. View attachment 280425

You owe this guy a special treat from NM.... Something NMish.....even Navy pilots enjoy a treat. Put the payment into something unique....or at least attached to something unique. Don’t get lost in the dollars. A good friend is worth it.

Some I got just to get. Some were Opportunity buys others I just liked.

I totally understand this.
You’ll just need to have good conversations with your trees, today and tomorrow trees, so they understand your motives and cooperate to fit in the pots for you.

Shipping from France is higher than most. I went in knowing the shipping with buying a Lotus Bonsai pot a few years back. But dang...how does one say no to something that speaks to you?
Love this one from Lotus Bonsai as well. So shipping shock wore off with that purchase.

Really though. That’s a great idea.

Love it! Is that a dwarf horsetail?? So pretty.

yeah the cost was a bit of a shock at first but I’m super pumped to get them! They spoke to me immediately.

Just received my Frenchman box of pots! They are so wacky and imperfect and great.

I love that they are all a bit wonky and asymmetrical. Great textures and colors.

Just received my package from my friend in Japan! He hooked it up! All ovals and mostly unglazed.

 

[Hartinez]

nice rough texture with a sort of mossy glaze.

 

[Hartinez]

I like this one. Nice patina. Or just water stains.

 

[Hartinez]

nice banded and rimmed oval.

 

[Hartinez]

this one is my fave. 12” or so oval that sure seems old. Great patina on the glaze and clay. The chop looks old also. @Brian Van Fleet can you possibly identify the chop on this one? If not no sweat!
