This is a new attempt at making another Dragon Pot to replace some that got cracked with heat shock in the first firing. I've been using this imagery since around 1976 when my daughter was born in the Chinese Year of the Dragon and it also relates to the first hexagram of the I Ching.

  • You could make one to be different that has the sides pushed out like that and it looks cool but with but with out the face just to have a little bit of neutrality. someone might purchase because its neutral looking but no theme. Just saying someone who likes the pot might purchase it but they dont like a dragon theme. Dragons usually go with Chinese decor. Some people are southwest style decorators or else early American style decorators. Just saying.I dont know if your open to any suggestions?

  • @shartne Some folks think they are pretty cool and some think the Dragon is Satins name, ever listen to the TV preachers for "Shepherds Chapel"? I don't practice such superstition. As yet I haven't come up with an abstract design although I've seen some by other potters. Haven't sold any yet either.

  • @shartne It will probably be a long time before I have a chance to make more pots but I'll give it some thought. I make these as my sculptural pots for the gallery and the other stuff is for the functional market. Thanks for the suggestion and stay in there eh.

see all

  • beautiful dragon pot, good luck to you leave the UP-- and remember--keep working it your worth it.

  • @GindaUP Just saying or thinking it would sell being with out a face. just the bulges alone look fine. Not being superstitious. Just thinking try one with out the teeth and eyes and it will be just a pot with a neat decoration. That would be good for anyones living room thats all. you remember the saying try it you might like it. Make some with dragon face and some with out. See winch one sells better. More variety is always good.

  • Nice looking pot man. I hope the firing goes well.

  • Interesting technique. Thanks, Gary.
