Fair enough. I see absolutely no difference in suitability with these beautiful pots, compared to all the standard-issue Bonsai pots already in production.
In my opinion they will work just as well as any other standard pot.
Over time, those whom practice an art the longest and have mastered their field, can often be subconsciously least likely to explore different perspectives.
If you feel visually comfortable looking at a natural aged tree in a perfectly square Bonsai pot....yet these pots upset you visually, then we can happily agree to disagree.
I just wish they weren’t so expensive otherwise I’d own a few.

Re: Ancient Manchurian pear
Me too Rory, I love your comment on looking like they were -just wrought from a quarry- perfect description.I saw just this effect at a marble quarry in the Pilbara and the imagery was stunning(didn't have my camera after a fair hike in). Finding the right tree for such a gorgeous pot - now that may take a lifetime!
