Welcome to the Bonsai Pot Database!

We created this page to help others identify their bonsai pots. At this time, the database is set up for Japanese pots. We will add more origins in the future. 

This database is being built by storing images from pots that we have either acquired overseas, imported, or received from members of our Facebook group, Bonsai Pot Identification Help. 

If you would like to submit any images or have corrections, please feel free to contact us.
