Large shallow bonsai pot, 50 x 37 x 10 cm brown ceramic

This is a wide, shallow rectangular bonsai pot in brown glazed ceramic, measuring 50 cm long, 37 cm wide and just 10 cm deep. It is sold empty, with no plant included. The broad surface and low profile mark it out as a pot for spreading, horizontally styled trees and for forest or group plantings, where the soil can stretch across the tray rather than sit in a single deep well.

The brown glaze seen in the photographs is even and quiet, reading as warm earth rather than gloss, which keeps the attention on the planting above it. As is standard on a pot of this format, the base carries drainage and wiring holes so excess water drains away and trees can be tied down securely across the wide footprint. The clean rectangular lines and generous width give it a calm, table-like presence on a display bench.

A pot in the Japanese ceramic tradition

Shallow rectangular trays of this kind are closely tied to forest and raft plantings in the Japanese tradition, where a low container suggests open ground and lets a group of trunks read as a small landscape. The width-to-depth ratio here is well suited to that use, giving roots room to run sideways while keeping the visual mass low. It is a format chosen to support a composition rather than to dominate it.

About this piece

What is offered is the brown rectangular ceramic pot shown, at 50 x 37 x 10 cm, with no plant included. The wide, shallow proportion, the brown glaze and the rectangular outline are its defining features; any planting in a photograph is there only to show scale and possible use. Minor variation in glaze and tone is normal for fired ceramic and belongs to the character of the individual piece.

For a grower planning a forest group or a low, spreading specimen, this shallow bonsai pot offers the surface area, stability and restrained colour that let the planting tell its own story across the seasons.
