Yes, I have seen that. Well, if Ryan doesn't want to tape her back together, maybe I'll have an interesting project in the future.

No, it's Bigei, as is the one to the left of it and in the back left...all very nice pots. I have several Raynor pots out in the garage.

If you're gonna mix cats and bonsia, grow bigger trees, get bigger pots. If the feline can move the pot, your trees aren't large enough...
These pots were purchased mostly because I loved them, and I didn't have any particular tree in mind for any of them. Over the last year, a juniper and japanese red pine I've been growing have progressed enough to the point where I thought they might be ready for some of these. Funny thing, though...I thought the pots would be more likely to get damaged outside on the bench then in my bedroom
....AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHH...#%$#*& cat!!!!PS I don't have alot of smaller trees which is why I've got all these medium sized pots collecting dust on my cabinet...all the big pots have trees in them already, and the cat doesn't go outside (YET!).

Yes, I know. I owned ten of her pots until very recently
. Seriously, she is my favorite tokoname potter, and whenever the opportunity arises, I'll by her pots, assuming I can afford them.

What a day!
I've been trying to talk the kids into "swapping out" our Aussie for some time...she cannot be housebroken. She's not longer welcome in the house, and now she goes in the bonsai garden. I'd take it personally, but it would be giving her too much credit...
on a positive note (maybe) Yorozu-en has a few Bigei pots listed on eBay:

Well, I was just going to post how I'd rather have an unhousebroken 20# dog vs a unhousebroken 50# dog......when I realized I also have a unhousebroken 30# dog
...I guess it's a wash.ps thanks for the link. I do love Bigei pots and I don't have that one....hmmm

That sucks ! For that price I would at least have to miss a feeding or two just to torture the cat, lol.
Just yesterday I lost a pot too. My dog wanted to play ball and he threw, well more like shook his head while letting go his gorilla ball which flew up and hit my bench hitting my Hess Cotoneaster knocking it over and busting the pot. Luckily? it was a cheapo pot, one that was made to look like a stone and I only had about $10 bucks or so in it. Problem is I am now in Florida and in the middle of some work so I have no pot, nowhere close to get one and my plant is setting in a piece of tupperware, at least its dormant right now.

Don't worry. From here on out, she will be locked up with the incontinent pug and the poop eating French bulldog in the smelly basement...

check this out...this is identical in size and design(almost) to the pot shown in the first photo of my collection. If any one is interested, I'll part ways with mine for $200 less then what this guy wants for his.

Wow, $1200! What a loss Dave! But what makes these Bigei pots so expensive/special. That one you posted Brian was only $85 so far. Why the price disparity? (Sorry, I know nothing much about spendy pots and am just wondering the 'why' lol
