Mini Shito Bonsai Pots, 1.5 Inch – Set of 6, Set B

Willow Bonsai Ceramics is a family-run pottery studio in Avondale, Colorado, led by founder Antony Smith and his wife, Mavourneen Smith. Antony began the pottery business in 2014 after purchasing a small ceramics operation in South Africa; Mavourneen joined full time in 2016. Their U.S. studio opened in August 2024. Drawing on Antony’s landscape-design background and lifelong interest in bonsai, they develop forms that balance planting function with visual detail. Their values center on hands-on work, careful finishing and small-batch character: Antony designs, casts and glazes, while Mavourneen refines pieces and oversees quality control.

Mini Shito Bonsai Pots, 1.5 Inch – Set of 6, Set B

Build a miniature planting or display collection with this Set B set of six shito bonsai pots. Each pot measures 1.5 inches in diameter, giving very small plants and accent arrangements an individual ceramic container. Six distinct shapes and complementary glazes let you create a coordinated display with variation in form.

Every pot includes a drainage hole. The supplier identifies the set for shito and mini bonsai, air plants, succulents and tiny accent plantings. When planting, Willow recommends placing the pots in a larger dish with free-draining gravel to simplify watering and protect the surrounding surface.

This set gains individual surface character through a hands-on studio process. Glaze colors and textures may differ from the photographs; these variations are expected in handmade ceramics.

Specifications

Materials and Craftsmanship

These ceramics begin with an in-house design and a master used to create a mold. Each ceramic piece is slip cast by hand, refined and fired in the Colorado studio. Molds provide a consistent starting form, while hand finishing and the firing process give the final surface its individual character. The studio tests commercial glazes on its clay body and fires its ceramics at 2300°F, or 1260°C.

The finish belongs to the Set B selection shown for this listing. Reactive and hand-finished glazes develop during firing, giving every fired surface its own variation. The photographs illustrate this finish.

Care

Use gentle hand cleaning with a soft cloth or brush and mild soap when the pot is empty. Rinse away residue and let it dry before storage. Keep drainage openings clear and protect the rim and feet from impacts. Match watering, soil and winter protection to the plant species and local conditions; give the plant the seasonal care its species needs.
