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.
Greyish bark like that found on maples, stinkwood and hackberry harmonize very well with very light coloured pots, such as the creams. Light coloured pots are also traditionally used when you wish to display fruiting trees with fruit and leaves. These light coloured pots are not distracting and therefore are focus the viewers attention more on the tree and less on the 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.
Reliefs or raised ridges will generally echo the shape of the pot. It adds interest but is not as dominant a feature as side panels for instance.
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.
