The pottery is very nice and worth drooling over. The glaze work is also very nice. However, I stay away from pots that are wider at the center than the top because that narrower top gets in the way when repotting time comes around. For my adeniums, I try to favor something that is rather shaped like a cone, as opposed to a belly. But no doubt about it, those pots are just gorgeous.
As far as pots go, I consider myself lucky that the little fruit & veggie stand / nursery outlet just down my street carries a good selection of terracotta orchid pots with the slits cut out of the sides, for very little money. They're nowhere near as pretty as the pots shown above, but they do a very good job of keeping my babies on the dry side.
So, I'll have to add Isaac Farms to my itinerary next time I go to Homestead, probably in early August.
Take care, all.

I have been using orchid pots most the time do to slits in the sides. These plants push roots so fast sometimes they plug the bottom hole. with orchid pots most the ones i use have bottom and 4 holes on the sides harder to block.
A note to all I am trying to custom paint different pots to match likes or decor with clay pots
i have a great saucer type that will be easy to remove due to it dost have a top narrower then the center as Syivin talked about i know some of my adeniums if lest very long i could never get them out of those pots.
I am going to offer my services for these pots and orchid pots. i can seal them or not. i will post a few picks in a few days if it works out for me. thinking first design will be traditionalist bonzi look maybe spell out some words with nice brown white and black with a touch of red to stand out.
and the 2nd mabe a native American or a picture of adeniums i like the thought of a broken crushed tile that matches your color. I am working on attaching feet to keep off the concrete/ table patio.
but open for suggestions
