Pickup, Delivery, and Shipping Options/Policy
Local pickup is free in the Columbus, Ohio area, or pickup is also available when I road trip, especially to bonsai shows around my area of the Midwest. Delivery is also free if not more than 15 minutes out of my way from home or on any of these trips. See here for the most updated list of pickup sites/delivery routes I will be making in the coming months.
If you would like to have any of my products shipped to you, see my Etsy page invivobonsai.etsy.com (almost all prices include shipping) or contact me if the item is not listed on my Etsy and I'll look into a cost estimate. Contacting me can also get you a cheaper price than buying through Etsy as there will be fewer fees and shipping multiple items can be combined.

Blue Nose Trading Pots
In January 2024, I received a shipment of pots to sell on behalf of Tori Solis / Blue Nose Trading. See the pictures and prices below. All of the pots are circular rounds. The indicated length in the tape measure reflects the diameter of the pot, but because the tape measure was closer to the camera it looks as though the pots are smaller than they really measured. All pots here are available. Once sold they will be removed from this page. This page is arranged from smallest/lowest price to largest/highest price.
ID100 -$45 - 4.5" Blue-violet round speckled stoneware pot
ID110 -$50 - 5" Indigo violet speckled stoneware round pot
ID103 -$100 - 9.5" Pink blue green pastel round speckled stoneware pot
In person, this pot has a more visible pink-purple color although the camera picked up a lot more orange!
Chuck Iker Glazed Pots
These pots are sourced secondhand from a local in Columbus who is moving away and cannot take all his bonsai supplies with him. Prices reflect the fair market value via comparing to other sellers, an approximation of what he paid originally, or both. Contact me with any offers or questions.
Iker 001 - $80 - Now $50 - 5.25" W x 3.5" H Purple rain on black (double glazed) shohin cascade pot
This pot is 5.25" from exterior rim to rim due to flared area, but more like 3.5" interior diameter not counting the flared lip of the pot.
Iker 002 - $140 - Now $120 - 10.5" W x 1.5" H Hand built drum style glazed brown and green round shallow pot
Kintsugi repaired pots
Pots in this area are or will be gold epoxy kintsugi repaired for any hairline fractures or broken chips as I have previously described in articles.
The following Ben Keating pots will be repaired by these methods over winter 2025.-26 and will be available after that.
BK03 - Reddish Brown Round but angular pot. One of a kind! 19"x19"x4.75"
A few small hairline fractures are seen on the interior and highlighted in the pictures at the end. To avoid future issues, I will kintsugi over them as previously described. The repair will not be visible since it is on the interior but it will last. I have several kintsugi pots that have survived multiple years outside in Ohio winters.
This pot is also for those who have an eye towards eccentric, out-of-the box styled bonsai!
Price TBD.

BK04 - Blue-Green Round Cut Corner unique pot. 14.5"x19"x4.5"
This pot also has a few small hairline fractures on the interior and one visible through the glaze which are highlighted in the pictures at the end. To avoid future issues, I will kintsugi over them as previously described. The repair will be durable. I have several kintsugi pots that have survived multiple years outside in Ohio winters.
Another unique pot. Challenge yourself to think about how to make the ideal pot-tree combination in such a pot.
Price TBD.
 |
| The first of two cracks is visible on the underside here. It appears as a yellow line going across the right. The glaze has filled it in and may hold it long-term already, even without additional kintsugi. |

| The second minor crack is visible on the cut corner here. The glaze has filled it in and may hold it long-term already, even without additional kintsugi. |
