WTB large glazed rectangular pot

[MACH5]

Hello. Looking for a large rectangular glazed container for one of my Japanese maples:

Color: Cream or sky blue (depending I may consider other colors)
Size: Aprox. 16" wide and no more than 2.5" deep.
Make: Preferably Japanese

I may also consider an oval depending of quality and design of pot.


Thank you!!

what tree is getting a new home?

Try Matthew Ouwinga. Or Michael Ryan Bell. I bought my Koyo from Owen Reich.

Here's a sweet pot from Bjorn, but not quite wide enough.

how long did it take you guys to start getting into pots?
I am still at the point where I would never spend 900 bucks on a pot.

Could always have what you want made if you don't hold to the last requirement. Just bought a really nice pot from Ron

Thanks Dan. Most of Matt's stuff is beautiful but more than what I want to spend at the moment. I'll take a look at Michael's stuff.

Yes but I believe most of his orders are about a year out. Ideally I'd like to have the pot in the next couple of weeks.

I will never be to that point.

That is not to large - I would suggest Charles Iker http://www.ikerbonsaipots.com/ . We have done business with him in the past and he fires them enough that our/your Winters will not mess them up. He is very reasonable and makes what you want if not in stock. He usually fires a few and lets you choose as well. Very good person to work with.

Thanks Grimmy. Yes I have a pot from him and is very nice. I was under the impression that he only made small pots. I will inquire.

In my opinion it is absolutely unnecessary to spend that kind of money to make a tree look great. Unless you have either lots of money or are a hardcore collector of fine and rare ceramics, a tree does not need such pot. Many fine choices to be had for much less.

Unfortunately no. Yen is a vendor at the Carolina Bonsai Expo every year and used to have a very active website that I can't find any more. Some internet digging might yield good results. Good luck.
