External dimensions: Width: 31 cm Lengh: 25 cm Height: 9 cm
Internal dimensions: Width: 25 cm Lengh: 20 cm Height: 7 cm

A softly shaped oval bonsai pot in warm brown ceramic, measuring 31 by 25 centimetres with a depth of 9 centimetres. The oval form gives this container a gentler, more flowing line than a rectangle, with rounded ends that ease the eye around the planting. The brown stoneware keeps its quiet, even earthen tone, settling below foliage and bark instead of competing with them.

The walls curve smoothly from a flat base, and the open oval mouth reads relaxed and natural. The moderate depth suits trees with a spreading, flatter root system, which is common among deciduous and flowering subjects, and the rounded outline lends itself to softer, more informal compositions. Drainage holes and wiring points are set into the base so the tree can be secured once it is potted. The photographs show the empty ceramic pot only; no tree, soil or plant is included.

In the tradition of the bonsai container

Oval pots have a long and well-loved place in bonsai. Where a sharp rectangle suits powerful, masculine trees, the oval is the classic choice for softer material, flowering and fruiting trees, slanting and informal upright styles, and groups that benefit from a gentler footprint. A plain brown oval like this keeps that traditional restraint, letting the curve of the pot echo the movement of the tree rather than impose on it.

About this piece

At 31 by 25 centimetres, this is a comfortable small-to-medium size for a developing tree, an informal deciduous specimen, or a flowering subject where the soft oval form complements the canopy. The brown finish flatters maples, elms, flowering trees and similar broadleaf material, and the rounded shape suits trunks with movement and a relaxed silhouette. The proportions are balanced and easy to place, neither too shallow nor too deep.

For a grower who wants a gentle, classical oval with a calm earthen colour, this brown pot is a graceful and versatile choice for the display bench.
