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.
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.
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.
Straight rims have sharp lines, but do not detract from the strength of the tree.
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.
