These are a few of my own manufactured Bonsai Pots which I started producing back around 1993.
It took me roughly about a year of experimenting with different clay formulas and glazes, before I ended up with a very strong bodied pot and a quality finish likened to that of the Japanese Pots at that time.
The clay slip I used was formulated by myself so as to achieve the strength in the finished product. I also made my own Moulds to cast the pots in, as well as mixing my own glazes and did my own firing.
The roos and the platypus are oxide painted on surface and burnt on during kiln firing.
This pot is my own design, made from my personal terracotta formula very strong.
This is one of my very first attempts at pot making.

I just wish to confirm that these Bonsai Pots were really mine,
so I have here photos showing my Logo Stamped on them,
my Pot Logo is a combination of an S and a H "Shangrilah".
On the inside of the pot.
