There are some beautiful porcelain pots around.
Does anyone use them for their bonsai???
I have searched many bonsai galleries and only once in a great while will one show up and it usually doesn't have a tree planted in it.
I would like to buy a couple because some are really beautiful but don't know how to use them or if they should be used. Some of the books say to use them for flowering trees but I have yet to see any.
I would appreciate any links or photos or advise.

Depending on the pot (not sure which type you see) but taller pots are often used for cascade and other styles that travel far beyond the boundries of the pot itself (as a mean to add weight so it won't tip.

You also see them used sometimes in Penjing (the original bonsai)

Here is a link that might be useful: wiki

Sarah Raynor, a noted quality bonsai potter, mentioned to me that she has recently been doing more in porcelain than during something of a recent lull. I have several of her pots in that medium.

.... and she's a nice person, as well. I've see her pots holding some of the world's nicest trees.
