Trying to find info on which type of pot will go with my olive tree.

[Benny w]

Color, glaze or Matt, feminine or masculine and the shape?
At first I thought the rot was this huge issue but have learned that it isn't an issue at all. Want to make the deadwood/rot into a feature and know a pot should compliment this but having trouble knowing/finding info on what pots go with olives. Or at least what definately doesnt go if the community could lead me the right direction.

I have an olive and I want it to end up in a classic (Mediterranean) round or oval terracotta clay pot.
Why? Because I believe that's where they belong. Their historical and cultural significance demands it, at least in my opinion.
It's against the grain of classical bonsai perhaps, I'm fairly sure about that.. But this tree has been cultivated in terracotta/clay pots some 1000+ years before the first bonsai ever appeared. In my opinion, 4000 years of (cultivation) history outweigh modern design.

It's not a popular opinion, I guess. But I'm a sucker for history.

Those pots would work.

But the tree in question isn’t ready for a bonsai pot yet. But it doesn’t hurt to start looking.
