Indoor Bonsai. I don't know if there's a potter who calls himself "Indoor Bonsai" but if so, there you go. Otherwise - it's just a label to let the reader know what the pot's supposed to be used for, I guess..

Um, well, "bonsai" kanji characters are only part of the signature. It would help if you posted a pic of the entire pot.
It would also be helpful if you said how it was acquired. That can provide some clues to.

Thanks for the link, I have a signed Tokoname pot I've just repotted a Mugo in, and was wondering about the seal, and the..."comment?" next to it:
Haven't had time to search through the list though.
Here's another link that you might find interesting: the potters are in alphabetical order, so there's a lot of Chinese seals at the letter "C", and Tokoname potters are of course at the letter "T", but there are many other Japanese potters seals pictured there too:

Isn't there a way to list a couple of links as "Sticky", or whatever, a thread that stays at the top with a very clear mention of the basic resources it's about, for instance :
"List of signatures and seals"
Other links I have in my bookmarks:

http://bonsaipotplaza.com/world/bonsaiasia.html (not so many)
https://www.bonsaiempire.com/locations/potters/bonsai-potters-europe (a few european potters)
A wiki from our friends who walk on the ceiling:

A wiki is a very interesting concept, it can be easy to complete a list on a collaborative basis...

Thanks a lot Brian, since I first mentioned it, I've spent more than hour checking my mail, reading other threads here and there, posting things, etc.
Merci beaucoup, I appreciate.
