Basic Yixing Rectangular Bonsai Pot (20 cm / 8 in) with Green Glaze
The rectangular shape and tranquil green glaze of this Yixing bonsai pot exude a serene and natural elegance, making it perfect for trees with lush foliage, spring blossoms, or refined branching patterns. The subtle green tones evoke calm and balance, seamlessly complementing the tree's natural charm.
The pot features raised Cloud Feet, crafted to Yixing standards, which add both functional stability and aesthetic refinement. The soft, cloud-like curves of these feet create a sense of lightness, gently elevating the pot above the surface. This design not only ensures optimal drainage, airflow, and root health but also introduces an artistic quality, as if the pot is resting delicately upon the clouds.
The clean straight edges and subtle outward rims provide both visual clarity and practical stability, ensuring secure wiring and tree positioning. The pot's rectangular design emphasizes strength and structure, making it particularly well-suited for styles such as Formal Upright (Chokkan), Root-Over-Rock (Sekijoju), and Cascade (Kengai).
This pot is ideal for medium-sized bonsai trees approximately 20–30 cm (8–12 inches) in height. It pairs beautifully with species such as Cherry Blossom (Prunus serrulata), where soft pink flowers create a stunning contrast against the green glaze. It also complements Trident Maple (Acer buergerianum) with its fine branching and seasonal colors, as well as Chinese Elm (Ulmus parvifolia) with its dense canopy and textured bark.
The green glaze serves as a tranquil backdrop, enhancing the visual harmony between the tree and pot, while maintaining a timeless and natural aesthetic.
This Yixing rectangular bonsai pot combines subtle sophistication with functional durability, making it an ideal choice for both beginners and seasoned bonsai practitioners.
