These pots are made in Yixing, the Chinese capital of quality ceramics for Bonsai.
Given the handcrafted nature of the pots, there may be slight differences in the pot's dimensions or slight variations in tone.
The word Bonsai consists of 2 characters, which mean "tree in a pot," so the importance of the pot in this art is (almost!) equal to that of the plant.
Aesthetically, "the pot is to the Bonsai as the frame is to the painting," it should enhance the beauty of the plant without stealing its attention; different styles of Bonsai require different types of pots.
Horticulturally, the Bonsai pot must have certain chemical and physical characteristics that allow for the cultivation of a tree inside it for long periods; these goals are achieved using high-quality stoneware and specific manufacturing processes.
