Mustard Glazed Floriated Bonsai Pot, 13 x 11 x 4cm

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.

Why select this pot?

Oval shaped pots are particularly suitable for deciduous species of bonsai. As far as styles go, the clump style and grove or forest styles work well when planted in oval shaped bonsai pots. Fruit bearing trees also look good in oval containers as do root over rock plantings. 

A lip on the upper rim of the pot provides a feeling of stability, even when a strong tree is planted into it.

Feet with a cloud design make the pot appear older and more valuable. It also adds a degree of elegance to the bonsai tree planted into 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.
