Yes, but they also don't have reasonable walls which give the pot rigidity in the kiln. The chances of the suiban coming out of the kiln warped is very high... you could possibly get away with it by firing to a lower temperature but then the clay would be porous, and then when you display your treasured 'stone' on the Baby-Grand, you'd be left with a water mark in the french polish.....and then I'd be in trouble!!!!Asus101 wrote:But suibans are bonsai pots with out holes

Grief is when they rip hell out of your trees, pot choice, carving and pruning techniques and call your bloody trees "Topiary".
NOW THAT'S GRIEF!!!!!!!
