The EBPC does not stock Horst's work but Alex might have some available over at Top Shelf Bonsai Pots.

I would recommend ordering a commission through his web site if you can. I worked directly with Horst back in the late 90's to design and import a few pots. He was very easy to work with and knows his stuff. If I'd have known his work would bring the prices Mirai is asking, I would have commissioned about a dozen more.

Karen Schuman pot 4 3/4 by 2 inch round. Local Chicago potter. I just loved the green and bought a too small ficus to plant in it. Got both at the Midwest Bonsai Society exhibit last week.

FWIW, we have a small group on FB for discussing bonsai pottery: Bonsai Pottery Aesthetics: No self-promotion/sales!

This looks like one of Haruyosi's pots.

Green and red are often more common because both colors can be achieved with copper. Depending on the presence of oxygen or not will often determine whether the glaze goes red or green. Blue is more commonly achieved with cobalt in the glaze. Though copper can make blue too, it tends toward green. I would suspect that your Koyo pot is a copper colorant glaze that flashed red in a reduction firing, though it could be some iron in their too. Nice little pot!a tiny little koyo for the coffee table - the glaze caught my eye. i've seen a lot of green and red, but not so many blue and red, but that's probably just my inexperience

This is a 12.5x10 pot from Nashville potter, John Cole. I’ve been looking for American potters that can make good solid rectangular pots for my conifers. Johns work is the best I’ve seen. While other American potters have a more artistic feel, I think John has a more craftsmanship mentality, which I think is lacking in the American pottery scene. I don’t believe he’s been doing pottery for very long, but getting to know him, his pots are akin to his personality. Simple, strong, well made...a good pot from a good dude.

One reason you don't see too many classic rectangular pots by American potters is they are a bitch to make! I can vouch for that. I keep trying (with occasional success) to get a large rectangle with the bells and whistles, like outsloping walls and rims. The more I work in ceramics, the more in awe I am of some of the classic Japanese forms like this.
