Bonsai Pot 20.5cm*16.5cm*7cm – Ceramic
SKU: WeB170
Small rectangular ceramic bonsai pot 20.5 cm
This ceramic bonsai pot is a small rectangular container measuring 20.5 cm long, 16.5 cm wide and 7 cm deep. The modest depth and tidy footprint put it squarely in shohin and small-tree territory, the everyday size most growers reach for more than any other. The photographs show the pot empty, and that is exactly what is for sale here. No tree or plant comes with it.
The body is glazed ceramic with straight rectangular sides and a plain rim. At 7 cm deep it holds a useful root volume while still looking light, which suits a young shohin or a small deciduous tree being grown on toward its final pot. The little extra depth over a flat tray also helps with watering during warmer spells, so the pot earns its keep through the growing season.
A classic bonsai container
The rectangle is the workhorse shape of the bonsai bench. It reads as formal and quiet, which lets bark, branch structure and surface roots take the attention. In a smaller size like this it doubles as a training pot and a display pot, and that flexibility is why these turn over constantly in any collection.
About this piece
The pot shown is the exact 20.5 × 16.5 × 7 cm container you will receive, glazed ceramic with drainage in the base. On a small wooden stand it has the neat, balanced look that a shohin display wants, sitting comfortably alongside larger pieces.
A practical, good-looking pot for a small tree at almost any stage of its life.
Glazed throughout, it cleans up easily and keeps its colour outdoors across the seasons.
The rectangular shape also sits squarely without rocking, which makes wiring a small tree into place and lifting the pot on and off the bench straightforward. Many growers keep a row of these in matched sizes so a developing collection looks coherent on the shelf.
