Hi everyone!

I’m quite new to bonsai, and new to this forum. Recently I’ve been searching for bonsai pots, and I’ve found one with a Japanese/Chinese stamp. Since I can’t find much information about the maker of this pot, I would like to ask if someone recognizes the stamp? If so, can anyone tell me what the estimated value of the pot is?

The side is 32x32x21 cm, so quite a big one!

Thanks in advance!

.... who drilled holes in the side of that pot??????

Indeed, even if it was worth something, the holes in the side make it worth much less.

Cannot make much of the stamp. Every potter has their own stamp, and there are many. My guess is that if this was a precious pot, the previous owner wouldn’t have drilled the holes in the side.

This shape could be used for cascade style bonsai, but the color is difficult to match...

Thanks for your usefull answer. The holes in the side were not drilled in later, but during/before the baking progress (so the maker of the pot did this). I can tell by the way the ‘clay’ is kind of coming out from the holes on the inside of the pot, before being baked. If this was done after, it would have been smooth because the pot would have already been solid.

Hopefully this makes sense. But you don’t think it’s worth something?

Thanks!

Doesn't look like a rare Ming dynasty item. BTW, I do recognize the word China 中國 on the stamp, which may hint at the origin of the pot.

The holes in the side on cascade pots are rather common... doesn't make it less worth.
