Nice source for pots in Los Angeles!

I drive by this place all the time on the freeway, but I'd never stopped by until yesterday:

It's an acre of warehouse plus another acre of open area, just stacked with pots and pots and pots and pots.

It's imaginatively named Pottery Manufacturing & Distribution, right at the intersection of the 110 and 405 freeways. They do have a website, but it doesn't do a great job of showing the breadth of their product line. I just walked around for 45 minutes in awe of the selection.

I'm looking for something decorative for a whole bunch of pineapple plants (someday :D), and they had stuff like this:

I didn't compare pricing directly, but they seemed to be slightly less than Home Depot and/or Armstrong. But their real strength is selection; I'd venture to say that, if these guys don't have it, it doesn't exist.

I don't need the big pots right now, so I just bought a bunch of these cute little 2.5" guys for $0.50 apiece for germinating seeds. I don't remember the exact price, but these 7 pots and the saucer were $5.10, total:

Anyway, I thought this was a wonderful find, and thought I'd share :D

Pretty cool. Sometimes I am around that area. For large pots it gets pricey so maybe they will have better deals. Also will be cool to check them out just for the decorative selection too.
