Here’s the completed flower pot, on our deck on a rainy fall morning. Yesterday at the studio, my ceramic teachers surprised me with the glazed and finished pot. It’s about 13 cm x 13 cm. Below is the signature on the bottom of the pot, and you can see the contrast between the black clay and the blue-white glaze.

Finally, here’s an image of otoosan sensei showing off the tong used to remove the pots from the kiln. Nice tool!

Very nice flower pot. Per chance, are they sold in the US?
RW, thank you for your complement. Actually I am just a beginner pottery student, and made the pots for my Tokyo balcony garden. I highly recommend making your own pots; it adds a wonderful element to a small garden.
