Is that a Mark Muredian pot, too? Wowsers.

No, I made that pot :) And here is a shameless plug for my pottery http://www.robinpetersson.com/pottery/

I can't answer your question about the squirrel damage but wanted to say that your pottery is just beautiful.

Both the plant and container are very beautiful. Is pottery a hobby or business for you? Are you self-taught? I would love to be able to do something like that. You are very artistic... good for you!

Thanks everybody! I used to go to a pottery class for about two years, then I bought a wheel and a kiln so that I could make more experimental pots quicker and at home. I made quite a bit of pottery just after my last job and before I had twins (now a stay at home dad), and in the last two years I haven't made very many at all because I am BUSY :) I have sold maybe 20 pots so I wouldn't call that a business quite yet. Would love to make more and sell some day when I have more time.

Here is another picture of the pot...if anyone is interested :)

The plant will heal, some of the chunks will fall off, they are like big chunks of bark, but as long as you get a vine the caudex will grow.
I agree, great pot.

WOW! Lovely pot and plant. My dioscorea elephantipes is still very young. It's only about the size of a quarter. I cannot wait for it to get bigger! Glad to hear yours will heal!

I have had this for 3 years, and I believe the seller told me it was about 2 years when I bought it. It didn't do much the first two years, then this year I put it on top of my garage roof with a 30% shade cloth, and it has literally doubled in size. And it was actually the squirrel attack that prompted me to build boxes out of PVC pipes and shade cloth to protect my plants. So my plants get sun all day long. Some are in full sun, some get 30% shade. It has worked out great!! :) Can't wait until the winter is over to see all my plants THRIVE :)

What a little cutie!! Good luck with it! Sun, water and fertilizer in when it is growing! :)
