Mr. Iker, I received my pot I ordered off you two days ago and it came well secured in the box and was beautiful. I was impressed with the fast manner you replied to my email sent late that evening, the next morning !  Your photo at your site was perfect and the pot is wonderful, I love the finish and the quality of your work. I will deal solely with you for any future needs I have in Bonsai pottery.

Ed, Ohio

I am so excited about receiving the pots today that I had to show you how you saved a tree. Also, I LOVE the mame pot!!!! I can't wait until my next sprout is ready to transplant into it. It was so awesome I had to get the 6" pot of similar shape and another 6" green pot. I love how the green glaze complements the green needles. I have attached a before and after picture of the repotted tree.......... 

Karen, Arizona

 Chuck, Thanks for the great job you did packing these pots. I was very please with all of them.  I particularly liked the 2 unglazed mames.  I can't wait to get them potted.  Your style is unique.  Your pots are elegant without overpower the composition.  Very nice!

Love the pots!

F.W. Washington

Hello Chuck, I just received the pottery and I am stunned by the quality and the art. Those are awesome bonsai pots. I appreciate the fast delivery. Thank you,

M.M., Indiana 

These pots look good without the trees in them.  My wife absconded with the blue cascade for her window garden.  I guess I'll need to buy a replacement.  Thanks Chuck, I'm glad I found your site.

T.R. Georgia

Great job on the packaging and I really love them!  Thanks!!

B.W, Utah

My pots came yesterday.  I was really impressed with them all.  I will be buying more come spring.  Thank you!

U.A. Canada

Mr Iker,

My first order was for a friend’s birthday.  She was very happy by the way.  This order was for me.  While I’m not sure my plants quite qualify as Bonsai, they sure make me happy sitting on the window sill.  I may have to expand out on to the fire walk.  Love your work.

K.S. New York

 

 

……………… Opened the beautifully wrapped box.  You are VERY good.  I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the small textured pot 3703.  God knows what I'm going to put in it but I LOVE it.  I am not a lover of high glaze finishes and that's the truth.  Having said that, the others are beautiful and while the high glaze does bother me [as I knew it would when I ordered them] the pots will suit the trees in mind admirably.  You have done a superb job.  I'm very very pleased……..

 

Chuck, thanks again for your wonderful artistic abilities, your excellent customer relations and your supreme packing skills.  It remains a pleasure dealing with you.

Cheers

L.W., Australia

Attached is a picture of the Black Pine I ordered your pot for.  Perfect.  I could not be happier.  Thanks for all your help!

W.A. Atlanta

Thanks Chuck - got everything today. I have no words for pot 3763. Just gorgeous.... perfect. I collect a lot of eastern white cedars, and I think the finish is perfect for them. Don't be surprised if I start begging you to make me custom pots with this finish!

Best, A.K., Canada

I received my pots yesterday. Just wanted to let you know they arrived in perfect condition and how much I like all of them. I'm looking forward to getting them potted. I can see just how much time and effort you put into every pot you make. I'm very impressed. You'll be hearing from me again!

A.M. California

Thought I'd send you some pictures of the last pots I got from you. The pot I put the black pine in is perfect. How often do you put new pots on your website?

R.N., Vermont

The crescent is awesome! I'm amazed it made it though in one piece. Nice pack job.

L.W., Texas

I can see now this is going to be trouble. I'm going to have to repot a lot of trees after getting these pots. I'd better have you send my next order to my work. My husband is not going to like this. Thanks, Chuck!

B.Q. Arkansas

Thanks Chuck, perfect pots again.

W.R., Michigan

Kathy E., Arizona


Pots were on the porch. Excellent, as always. Thanks, Chuck
Zoe C., Texas

I got two big boxes this afternoon. I didn't realize how big they were going to be. These are exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for being patient with me on this. The color and finish is just what you promised. My client will be very happy. Hope to work with you again soon.
W.J. Georgia
 
Lovely, stunning really, and even more than I could have hoped for. When it comes to bonsai planters this vendor really knows his stuff. If you buy a pot from him you should know that it's going to be the real thing. Impeccable products with fast and safe delivery. In all ways an excellent shopping experience on Etsy. Thank you
R. B. New Mexico

Thank you so much! My husband loved it for Valentine's Day. Will look beautiful with his Chinese Wisteria in it. Great packaging, fast shipping! Would by from again!

Chuck, I just wanted to thank you for all of the lovely pots you helped me get together on such short notice. They look wonderful in the restaurant and really finish off the decor. We're looking forward to this week's opening and you have a standing invitation for a free dinner. Again, thanks, your work is simply beautiful.
A.D. Utah

The pot just arrived and it is outstanding. Your packing technique is phenomenal. I can hardly wait to get the pine planted in it. It is so cold here now that we should be able to start re-potting in a couple of weeks………………. Thanks again for a wonderful transaction. I'll be ordering more things in the near future. Wish you were close enough to do a program for our club....I'll bet it would be fascinating.
K.K. Florida

Another very handsome planter from a very talented potter! This makes my third purchase from Chuck and his work does not disappoint. Exemplary workmanship; even the bottom of the pot is beautifully finished! Fast shipping, wrapped in layers of bubble-wrap and sent in a box filled to capacity with peanuts. Highly recommend this shop and seller! Thank you!
B.P., Arizona

Hi Chuck, Received the pots today in great condition. Very nice! Especially the large grey round one with cracks in the finish. It is very impressive. Could you let me know how that was done? I expect I will hear that question a lot once I put a tree into that pot.
H.S. Wisconsin

Hello, I received the three pots today. They are all exquisitely beautiful. Thank you.
J.Q. California

Mr Iker, The pots arrived in perfect condition. Excellent packaging job. I am anxious to re-pot. Do you have any other pots like the shallow matte green pot I purchased? I have another crabapple that would look perfect in it but I need one a little larger, may another 2 inches in diameter. Thanks again!
B.M., Washington

Dear sir, Very pleased with the yellow round pot #2440 I received yesterday ; particularly delighted with the bonus little round pot you added to my order, a very decent gesture of yours !
G.D.,Fort de France, Martinique

HI Chuck, I've just picked up the pot from the post office, it's in perfect condition. It really is a beautiful and unique piece, I love the texture, the color, the shape... and of very high quality! I've become a fan of your work. :) Thanks a lot! Kind regards,

D.D. South Carolina

My pots arrived in good condition. Now I see how you manage to ship pottery. Sure do like this matte blue glaze, any chance you'll be doing any more like that soon? I'd like one for a friend for Christmas.
A.Q. Nova Scotia

My Order arrived this morning. I just wanted to let you know that I am very pleased with my purchase. Your attention to detail is obvious and I look forward to getting these trees repotted so that I can order some more. I also appreciate the quick shipping and good packaging.
L.H. Arizona

................I recently purchased two pots from you and was wondering if you'd be willing to share how in the heck you trim the bottoms of your pots so cleanly. I've been taking pottery classes for several years and have always just wired the the pot off the bat and cleaned it up with a rib. I know how to use trimming tools but how do you hold the pot for that amount of clay removal and how do you keep them from cracking? Not sure if you're willing to share but it's driving me crazy! By the way, your pots are just lovely..............
A.W. California

Hello Chuck, A word to let you know that the bonsai pots have arrived safely. Thanks so much. Love them! shall be ordering some more. Best,
G.J. Alabama

I received my pots today and was very pleased with the quality of your work. I will be back!
A.G. Hawaii

Hi Chuck, The pot you sent was just the right size, color, and design. I like the way you extended the colorful glaze inside the pot giving it a finished look. The slender design is beautiful as well as functional since it is much easier to hold the pot. I am glad I got this one. Thanks.
G.G. Connecticut

My order arrived this morning and I’m anxious to get my plants repotted. I’ve already had two guests ask me where I got them. I really appreciate how quickly you got them to me.

Hi, Chuck....WOW!!!!! the pots arrived today and they are beautiful!!! Would you happen to have a larger size of the coppery yellow pot? I would like a cascade style but don't remember seeing one in that section. Even just a larger size would be fine.....Thanks!!!
D.M. Pennsylvania

Hi Chuck, I took a few of the pots I bought from you in January to our club meeting last night. Everyone was very interested in getting your contact information. I replanted a Black Pine in the raw clay pot I bought and it drew a lot of attention. Thanks!
