Pick a pot for this quince

[penumbra]

Honestly, I had considered #6, it is a nice pot and a great color. But I will stick with #3. This plant may never have fruit and its flowers are fleeting. It looks great right now with the color, shape and design of #3. Considering the other 11 months of the year, it is the right choice for me. However, it is such a gorgeous plant that it would look good in a soup can.

How big is it? With the recent shohin talk...

I like the profile it is in but I feel that pot too small. Which outs 7 and 2 for me, 2 being the best profile, and my pick if not too small.

Three seems the right size but the profile is too vertical. The basal flare dictates this a lot for me, being so close, but the movement higher matters too.

4 seems a good size, and this is of course assuming you didn't somehow shop them in, this is assuming they are in front of the old.
But it's too brown, however, I'd like to see the bark color, without bark color, a lot is off profile .

5, maybe glazed, but the tree for me is too formal for such a shape. Glazed or not.

6 is out in my mind because of that "box top" design, a position in which this will be.

Something different!

Seems pretty normal , that I'd feed you excuses to buy new pots....seeing as how I am a B'nut! We gotta stick together!

A deep Blue Oribe with a yellow hint would kill. You know the one.

I don't know how big these get though.

That's sexy though!

What are the color of the flowers? I say pot #2 looks like it fits very well.

Here are the final results from the poll, thanks for joining. Ultimately, I went with #2, the oval Koyo. You can read more about it here.

It looks great and I do think it is the prettiest pot, but #3 was my choice because the tree looked more masculine to me. Funny, it looks a bit more feminine in its new pot. It was an excellent choice. I am glad it did not end up in the yellow pot.

The glaze on the oval is beautiful, really nice. I hate to say this, but I have a distinct dislike of deep ovals. They look like bathtubs. The tall straight walls really accentuate the "heavy bathtub" feel of the pot. Slightly shallower pot, with walls that taper outward would have a lighter feel.

My personal taste, the glaze of the pot is probably the most beautiful of the choices.
