apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I love Guy Wolff's things. I'm happy this son is giving us more. This is the "real thing." So much better than knock-off artist Ralph Lauren's new Garden Line. And, it's much less expensive. You don't find the perfect world of Real Thing Good Price = Perfection very often. And that's all the math I know!

Thanks for the tip!!
I'm planning to buy more pots in the next month - and had thought to look into buying Guy Wolff pots. His son's work looks great too - and the white would be perfect for my balcony.

Are Ben's pots made here in the USA or are they made in Hondurus like his father's pots?

Not much is produced in Dad's studio anymore (in New Preston/Bantam CT), it once was a hotspot of activity but now....the magic takes place with cheap labor in Hondurus.

After Martha Stewart talked him up he got to big for his britches in both business and personality.

I wouldn't want to support an artist who subs out his creativity to cheap non-US labor!

You choose.

So now our gardening pots should have a big brand name stamped on them and signed for authenticity? Give me a break.

I agree with KellyM, why do they have to have the potter's name stamed so prominately on them?

It's a major turnoff and from the above photo really detracts from the form and beauty of the pots.

The pots are beautiful, but I also have a problem with the prominent branding, and with the idea of shipping a brand-name pot to my house (even if Connecticut isn't so far away) when there are plenty of local garden stores and local artists' shops with nice pottery for the garden. I guess in my struggles with my little urban side yard, finding attractive containers hasn't really been among the main problems.
