I always feel like I'm getting such a bargain when I buy one (or more) of Chuck's pots. He's a ceramic artist, not simply a pot maker. He really understands how to create compositions that bring out the best in the trees they are suited for. His craftsmanship is amazing. I buy his pots sometimes as a little gift to myself, I don't even have trees for all of them, I just enjoy the beauty and artistry of what he does. Consider me an enthusiastic Iker pot collector at this point.
