I don't have many left. I hang old pots on the fence.
Kinda decorative. Never pick a blue one for a new tree though.

Did everyone here start with BLUE pots?

Nop, I actually started with no ceramic bonsai pots at all. Somehow I completely bypassed the mallsai stage and went straight to cutting down nursery cans

I just bought 2 blue pots this week from Chuck Iker. I needed one for a trident maple that i will repot next spring and i just thought the second one was really nice. I'll find something to go in it. Probably a crape myrtle. Nothing wrong with blue pots at all.

My First Mallsai(tm) was in a turquoise blue/green pot. It was broken during a move. The starter blue pot I do own was picked up for a couple of dollars. I'm colourblind, so I tend to be drawn more towards blues and yellows as they are more vivid to me.

Well, there's blue and then there's blue. Not all blue pots are bad.
There's cheap Chinese pot blue (usually highly glazed an a bit of an electric blue) and then there's the more subdued blue glaze of an artisan-made pot.

You mean there are no cheap blue artisans practicing?

Yeah, they're called The Blue Man Group, and I think they make all those pots.

I have a big blue bonsai pot. Paid like 60 bucks for it. I guess I'm not cool, like when I was a kid and mom couldn't afford Nike Air shoes lol.

Can't say that I have...though this tree came in a blue pot. So am I in the "Blue Pot Group" since it did?

Actually, I have been looking for a very particular blue glazed pot
for like two years. I will end up having to have it made. But I
have been putting off looking 'in earnest' until the azalea "knits"
with the stone and needs something in which to stand.

I do have a houseplant in a big blue pot; I had it long before I got into bonsai though:
