Elevating the Art of Bonsai Ceramics 8/7/12

Horst Heinzlreiter, ceramic artist
All the pots shown here are by Horst Heinzlreiter. They are lifted from his facebook photos. There are nine shown here in no particular order and with no reference to size or anything else, other than my taste and a little certain degree of randomness. You can find most (maybe all) of these pots along with more information (including size and price on some) on Horst’s website.

I need another adjective
I won’t bother you with any more comments this time; the pots speak for themselves and my adjective supply is a little  over-used anyway. Same goes for analogies, though I’m tempted (check out the fifth pot, the one with the red dot and see if it reminds you of a famous painter’s art).

Stone Lantern warehouse vacation
Our warehouse is closed for vacation until August 20th. Orders received before then will be charged and shipped on a first-come, first-serve basis the week of the 20th. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

  1. These pots are very heavy and thick. Therefore – in my oppinion – they are not the best quality.

  2. Thanks for highlighting one of my favorite bonsai potter artists.

    Horst’s artistic talent is inspiring and his pots are a feast for the eyes. He has raised the level art in bonsai pots and many of his pots stand alone as art.

    I would love to visit his studio. It would surely be one of those “kids in a candy store” experiences for me.

  3. Wow, an exceptional, authentic artist. Thank you for bring his work to my attention.

  4. The pots are awesome. Glad you found them. Just makes me think I need to work on my glazes a lot more. I love the one with the red dot.

  5. These are definatly beautiful and show imagination. For the person who commented that they are ugly, it’s more than your name that makes me believe you are closely related to the other, more famous Keller!
    It’s hard for some people to veer away from tradition and rules. Walter Pall told me ” tradition is the propagation of fire, not the preservation of ashes”

  6. If you like Horst’s pots, have a look at Erin. Not only do they make great pots, they will design them to suit a particular tree. I have pots by both Horst and Erin and I’m extremely pleased with all of them. Certainly brightened up my shelves and got me more interested in accent plantings. These pots are modern art and as such not to eveyone’s taste, I think that Mr Keller would prefer the more traditional pots.

  7. I apologize for my comment. Greg is right I do prefer the more traditional pots & as I went back to look at the pots again they would be good for accent plants. I’m 57 and been doing bonsai since I was 18. I became disabled & can’t take care of my 75 trees that are dying a slow death. So yes I have become bitter. Again Sorry! Having said that, The pot with the red dot – If you stare at the red dot for 10 seconds then look at a blank wall you will see Buddha. Don’t anybody try this…

  8. If you look at his website you’ll see that many of his pot are more traditional if these shown are too far out. Horst used to actively post on the old original IBC (RIP) and blew our minds with the sheer volume, to say nothing of the fierce, over- the -top creativity.
    In the world of bonsai pots, He’s a giant.

  9. Thanks Bruce, Dennis, Greg, Elliott, Connie, Candy, Gregr, Phil, Rajeev and Brend,
    Wow… I had no idea these pots were going to provoke so much response. Guess we’ll have to offer another round. And maybe some other potters too.
    -w

  10. I just went to his site, Wow I’m in love with NR-27. Very Very nice work. A true artist.
    Thanks for the heads up…

  11. I have been a fan of Horst for five years now. He is truely one of the most creative and prolific potters in the world. I was very pleased to see him develop international attention through Facebook! It is well deserved as simply an artist as much as a kusamono artist.

  12. Das Beistell-Schälchen von Horst Heinzlreiter ( Bild8) ist in meinem Besitz.
    Schön das es Ihnen auch gefällt!

    Gruss, André
