Decided to show some of my more unusual pieces of art: A Nepenthes edwardsiana in ceramics, A truncata in ceramics, And an attenboroughii in ceramics. Now for more art just for fun: A dragon pot, and.... A two foot wide dragon, all in ceramics! For one last shot of randomness, I include this: A 21-inch-long flower stalk of D. binata multifida, with 3 separate inflorescences on it. Thanks for looking, hcarlton

Are these low fired pieces? Red glazes are so hard to find for anything above cone5, and they're expensive if you do find them. I'll have to post some photos of my work in another thread. I'm rather impressed on how consistent the teeth are on the edwardsiana vase.

According to my art teacher (these are all done at school), the kiln reaches temps of around 1800 degrees at elast. I am able to melt marbles on my pieces. And the red was very expensive, so I had to be careful how much I used. If you wish, I have a few other pieces I have made more recently, including a N. hamata cream pitcher!

Post away my friend! I love seeing how other people interpret these plants.

21 inches! Dang! I dont think my D. multifida 'extrema' sent up a stalk that large. How big is the plant?

The plant that produced this stalk was a normal multifida with leaves reaching no more than 4 inches across, maybe up to 6. However, it is producing 16-branched leaves.

Do you make these cups and vases to order?

I'm afraid not. These are all made in a high school ceramics class, and I am planning a use for just about every one. If I can, I'm hopig to get some pics of my new ones up soon. In the meantime, see if you can guess the models of the unnamed ones!

Starting at the fifth picture down I would guess N. harlequin, N. jamban, N. rafflesiana?, N. truncata or N. 'Judith Finn', N. hamata, no idea, no idea, N. ampullaria 'Bronze Nabire', N. albomarginata green, N. bicalcarata good work btw especially with the hamata peristome you really captured the teeth perfectly

If by "harlequin" you're referring to the species ampullaria, yes. None of these were made with a specific form in mind. Next is not jamban, but a close relative (remember the wider peristome), and not rafflesiana, but a larger Bornean species. You're way off on the next one, yes, hamata, and the second after I'm not even quite sure what it is, so that's off the hook. After that is not ampullaria, and after is correct. Now, for some clues with the ones you missed: 1. a southern Bornean species 2. A plant often mistaken for ventricosa 3. A famous hybrid (colors are off thanks to runny glaze) using ventricosa 4. Another famous hybrid involving the Painted Pitcher (Borneo) 6. Close relative of N. jamban, but a more feminine name. 7. A giant of giants (it's my largest pitcher pot as well). 8. A laughingly common species. 10. The fact that it was made into a teapot makes it harder, but a ventricosa relative 12. Possibly the smallest Nepenthes. If all goes well, there may be more tomorrow, so guess quickly.

1. Not quite, though it's similar. Think 'Song of Melancholy". 2. Correct. 3. yes, though just the all around x briggsiana 4. The other parent doesn't have teeth. 5. correct. 6. Correct 7. correct 8. correct 9. Correct 10. correct! 11. It kind of does look like a smaller attenboroughii, doesn't it? 12. Good job! and the last two are ridiculously easy of course. I'll try and get some more pics up soon.

I'm not very good with IDing Nepenthes, I only grow a handful and I don't have any books on them I just had fun guessing! Great pots/Vases!
