Large Japanese-style bonsai pot executed in unglazed brown stoneware with molded dragon relief decoration. The round basin form features a broad rolled rim, molded footed base, central drainage hole, and multiple tie-down wire holes characteristic of functional bonsai containers. Marked with an impressed numeral "9" on the underside, the pot is of production manufacture and dates to the late twentieth or early twenty-first century. Measuring 13.5 inches in diameter and 6 inches in height, the form corresponds to Japanese-market bonsai ware associated with Tokoname production traditions. The substantial size and deep profile make it suitable for larger bonsai specimens, while the dragon motif reflects a decorative category documented in Japanese bonsai pottery.
