Two new pots
Up for show today are two new pots I received last week. Both pots are made by Andy Pearson in the UK, also known as the Stone Monkey, and one of my absolute favourite pot makers. I have some of his beautifully crafted pot, both with trees in them, and some still waiting for the right tree. The glaze on some of them is so beautiful you would just like to touch it and never put a tree in the pot, but when you do it, the pot rises to new heights and you realize it is the only right thing to do, to plant a tree in it.
The first pot is an oval greyish glazed pot, the size is about 21 cm x 19,5 cm. The pot is 4,5 cm deep and the height from feet to rim is 6 cm.
The second one is for my azalea that will need a new pot in the spring. The tree is right now going trough a quite heavy redesign, it had some ugly scars where the former owner had lost/cut some branches, but the root base is good and it has beautiful pinkish flowers. I ordered this blue pot with the azalea in mind, and I think it will suit the tree perfectly. There is a little pink under the blue, you can see it in the second picture. The pot is round, the diameter 17,5 cm, it's 4,5 cm deep and the height from feet to rim is 5,5 cm.
As you can see, all Andy's pots have plenty of holes for anchoring the tree, and good drainage. Andy is also a very nice fellow to deal with, answering his emails fast, and you have the pots in the mail almost as fast as you type paypal on you computer (I think my pots have always been mailed the next day from payment). Thank you Andy for your good service and lovely pots!
