Square and rectangle. They are cheap pots but still it would be nice to have trays that match somewhat. Honestly I’d be happy with just black trays. I wasn’t a fan of the plastic ones Calibonsai offered to go with these.
I'm sure you can knock these out. The pieces are small enough?
I may see if there’s a kiln for rent type thing here locally, it would be a fun project. What type of clay and glaze would I need for these? I haven’t done anything with ceramics since high school which was many years ago.
Any fired clay would work if you do decide to make them on your own. Pay attention to the Cone temps for the glaze. You don't want to use a low firing glaze for a mid or high firing and vice versa.
I have lost so many sales for this reason. Especially from those who want to use my pots for succulents, houseplants, herbs, orchids or small tropical bonsai. But generally for bonsai use, yeah they are pretty worthless. I don't think many people buy into that humidity tray thing.
Go for it. Many years ago, selling to a different crowd, I made several plant saucers out of dark brown clay and only glazed the inside of the saucer with clear glaze.
I'll make your trays if you want. I just need the sizes and shapes, a pic from the top view of each pot would be good too. I'll charge you a recovery cost of $10.00 and you'll pay the shipping. As other members said, matching the glaze could be difficult, but I'll use whatever seems closest to your colors.
Also, I'm assuming trays for the 5 pots you shared in post #8 of this thread.
Oh I know that. So would I.
