Mottled beauty with just right mix of tradition (form) and innovation (glaze). One of many great pots by Peter Krebs. All the photos in this post are from Peter’s Earth and Fire website.
We are well into our sixth year here on Bark and we’ve never devoted a post to Peter Krebs’ exquisite hand made bonsai pots. Fortunately, the time is right to repair this oversight. Potting season is here for some of us and soon to be here for most of us. This is not to say that everyone should hurry over to Peter’s website (Earth and Fire) and purchase his pots, but purchase or not, it’s a web journey well worth making.
Though we’ve never devoted a whole post to Peter’s pots, we have shown a couple bonsai with his pots (here and here).
Good pots need good soil. Just in case you haven’t seen our new 50-50 lava and pumice Masters Bonsai Soil, it’s a mix that more and more pros and serious enthusiasts are using. A soil mix that you can use as is, or an ingredient in your own mix. BTW: that’s a root hook that I’ve been employing for a while. We’ve got new ones for you, just in case.
