Large Pot Required

Hi,
I"m looking at getting a large oval shaped bonsai pot.
The dimentions should be 60cm wide x 85cm long x 16cm deep preferably with an orintal type styling on the sides. The dimentions are my ideal dimentions but that can be changed based on availabilty of a suitable pot.
I have previously bought a couple from Garden World but am giving myself the time to source the correct pot ready for next year.
Can anyone suggest where to start looking. Most places stock the smaller pots so I'm wondering if anyone knows where to source the larger pots.
Help would be appreciated.
Regards
Rudy

Have just checked and my largest oval is 640 long and 420 wide. It might be to small. Lots of large rectangles

Interesting. Recently I have been trying to source larger pots as this one is. I have not had much luck in Sydney. I shall en-devour to spend more time looking into it.

Hey mitchell
Apparently Leong at Riverstone stocks larger pots, and if not any he can source from Chine rather easily
I will be looking for a large pot for my Murraya soone and was advised to check him out

Want to make a date of it Ken?
I'll be all like, "Sweet pot mate, you gotta buy it"
and you'll be all like "Awesome pot man, suits perfectly it's worth the money"
It'll be a done deal.
Leong will love it...
Seriously though, you been out there? Not me yet... easy drive for me though, only 10mins right time of day.
