There are very similar pots coming out of China for $300US-1000US atm

Just a few more

In post #19 when I win the lotto and can travel - one option only slight lessor probability than the other - I’ll come and get the two flat pots please - the top two photos - 9f and 8c.

the top two photos - 9f and 8c.

They look like Tosuis to me... but I'm only guessing.

The two shallow, oval pots are Tosui.

Great pots but I would struggle to put a tree in them.

It must be understood that some of these pots have become “Collectable” in their own right and have never been used and probably never will be.

Loving this thread mate (and loving the 9 tailed Fox pot). Keep the photos coming.
Did anyone see the video Bjorn posted the other day via his Eisei-en Bonsai page of the pots Naoki Maeoka is making? Not bad at all, especially considering he's known for his trees not his pots. The YouTube link is attached.

Thanks for the YouTube link, Naoki Maeoka is doing great work.

I knew from my language study that Maeoka meant “ in front of mountain “ and he told me his first name meant “ upright tree”; so both he and his father were aware of the irony that he works on bent small trees in backyard rather than upright trees in front of mountain.

Yep, I am building up quite an ‘imagined’ collection - I’d have the last pot and show it upside down just to people could see the lovely bird insignia.
