The first place I would check is Pottery Mfg. They have locations all over SoCal. They also have great deals on seconds at the Gardena yard.

Here is a link that might be useful: potterymfg

Thanks, nil. I've emailed Pottery Mfg. to see if they recognize the pot, and if it's one they've supplied to their retailers. I will also be sending out emails to as many of my local garden centers, too, that I haven't gotten a chance to visit. These pots were here when we bought the house, and no way to contact the previous owners.

Patty have you checked that pottery place on elcamino real and close to Kelly dr in Carlsbad?? They may have it ,if not,try some of the succulent,cactus places on coast hiway in Leucadia.

It's also possible you may find one that looks like it made out of that polysterene stuff or whatever it's called.They look like clay,but don't have the weight of clay.

I haven't, but I thought about going there tomorrow. They have tons of stuff that has sat around for a while. Worth checking out, as there is a darling little nursery tucked in behind the pottery place. The guys that run it are very nice. Good succulent choices there, too, especially for containers. I checked Green Thumb and Buena Creek Gardens. The fellow that now owns Buena Creek Gardens is going down to Mexico to do a pottery buy, and he wants me to send him a couple of better photos, and he'll see if he can find it down there.

They aren't clear on their website but Pottery Manufacturers seems to be one importer/wholesaler/retailer in Gardena. The other "locations" are dealers that sell their pots.

I have been to their main store recently enough to know they don't have pots that look like your picture. They only have a handful with that design and those are narrow-waisted urn styles.

Their retail prices seem to be sky-high and designed to not compete with the stores that buy from them wholesale.

Thanks, Greg. I have sent emails out to Madd Potter, Cedros Gardens, Buena Creek Gardens, awaiting Green Thumb to email me, so I can send the photos. So, that's most of the main garden centers with large pottery sections. Didn't get down to the little pottery place in Carlsbad on El Camino Real, yet, but I can try to run down there this week after work if they're open after 5pm. I am relegating myself to having to replace all 4, sadly.

Patty S.

Good luck patty,hope you find them.

That's a beautiful pot. I can see why you would want to replace it.

Thanks, kittymoonbeam. They are actually very, very nice pots. Very heavy duty. Not like anything I've seen, before, which is what worries me.
