These economically priced, glazed bonsai pots in various colours and shapes are made by ceramic artists in the Yixing province of China.These pots are slip cast in moulds before being fired.
Round bonsai pots can be used for both conifer and deciduous trees. They are also very suited to the literati or bunjingi styles and windswept styles. They can also be used for cascade styles but sometimes it's square pots are better for this style as branches are less likely to touch the pot.
Green is the most prevalent colour in all bonsai. Colours which harmonize perfectly with green are earth tones. Dark green pots complement variegated plant species well.
Short or almost inconspicuous feet are stable, but add nothing to the tree so are ideal for feminine trees such as Japanese maples or Stinkwoods with delicate branching. Not all trees combine well with pots with ornate feet, so a bonsai pot with simple feet can harmonize with the visual strength of the tree while not over powering it.
Always keep in mind that the most important item is the tree and the pot must be subordinate to it. To read more about choosing a pot read this helpful guide.
