Hi All,
I purchased this olive from the Vietnamese Bonsai Exhibition held in Melbourne this past weekend.
I believe the owner was a gentleman named Phong. Phong appeared to be the Master of Ceremonies at this event and very busy at the time; welcoming dignitaries and making speeches. In short, I did not want to interrupt Phong’s work on the day - hence I could not ask him about this pot.
So this question to the forum. I have searched prior forum threads and come up with this link https://japanesebonsaipots.net/chop-and ... -resource/
But I do not seem to be able to find the mark. No drama - it’s not critical - I am just interested in understanding the provenance of the pot.
I have tried to take a close up photo below.
Another view of the mark and where it appears on the pot below.
Cheers in advance for any guidance.
Mark
PS - Thank you to Phong and the Vietnamese Community for putting on the show at Sandown on the weekend. Excellent.

Re: Pot Mark
I had a quick scout through my usual resource for Japanese and Chinese chops but i couldn't match it up to anything for you sorry. Hopefully someone with a bit more experience is familiar with this chop for you!

Re: Pot Mark
Thanks Tim - appreciate the look. Given where it was purchased - it could well be Vietnamese? Anyway - any guidance will be appreciated.

Re: Pot Mark
Just checking these chops again... I rubbed the chops with led pencil today and I took a couple of new photos today to expose the chops a little more; I cannot see the chops on any of the known reference websites ... so just checking again if anyone knows the provenance of this pot. Two photos - same chops, different angles. ...and it is interesting to see that the tree has progressed somewhat too.... but in a different pot.
