Iker pots are awesome. I have a few myself. I love the clean simple lines many of his pots have.
Iker 9, Iker 10......

I came across the same size from Iker unglazed Iker made for us a few years back, no logo just his name and number. It spent at least 5 Winters on a bench outside and still solid as a rock with good patina.
This has two hidden support legs unlike the newer -

You will be surprised at how much they weigh - serious
Also wanted to share that Charles will take any you like and fire them, deco them, etc... to your liking. He makes a few and sells what you don't buy after you pick yours. Very nice to work with him.Grimmy

They finally came in!
All are about 4" in width. Ordered them for some shohin.
I must say, I am VERY impressed with the quality of these pots. I am definitely going to be ordering more from him soon!
Got some potting to do this weekend...

In post number 22 that pot is 1/2 inch deep. My Wife had an American Elm 26 inches tall with a 2 1/2 base for 5 years until we lost all of our trees. Her new plan for it is a 3 Bald Cypress group but taller trees next Spring...

It is quite awesome. Sometimes I'm impressed by the tree, sure, all good.. Then I see the fact that this large tree is sitting in a pot that's an inch deep... It looks great.

It is something you will learn and honest for many trees it is not as difficult as you think
My only concern with the 1/2 inch deep ones she likes is I am the one who does all the watering but other then that really not difficult.Grimmy

Once I get a bonsai that is worthy of it, I can look at investing in a good pot. (Unrelated, just spoke to Graham Potter on the phone and will probably be getting a green maple from him soon).

Gratz on the Maple! We have a lot of pots simply because we like them but for general training and such you can save a lot of money using plastic Bonsai training pots. They don't break easily, look like clay left out long enough, and you can easily drill holes in the lip to do guide wires
They come in a lot of sizes and shapes, more then pictured here -

Yeh I'll definitely be getting some, and the larger bucket plastic ones. All just disposable cheap pots then after the bonsai had been worked on for a number of years, can be moved. As a beginner, all this stuff needs to be got.. After some years, you build up a collection but to start with I've got nothing lol.
Gonna go in to full maple care research mode tomorrow if I do but this maple, which I'm quite I will. Graham is sending me over some more up to date pics.

I ordered a pot from him a few weeks ago for me ROR hornbeam. Told him what I was looking for, and pointed out some features of different pots on his website that I liked, and he told me what was possible. I second that opinion that his pricing seems very reasonable for a custom made pot. I can't wait to see it!
