This absolutely very cool bonsai pot has to be one of the sweetest hand-painted ceramics around. We’ll call it Village Life (are the two people in the middle dancing?). Part of the description say: “Wei Miao Wei Xiao” This Chines phrase means ‘lifelike, or remarkably true to life.’ The photo is from here as are all the photos in this post.
Of the well over two thousand people who visit Bonsai Bark every day, I suspect most don’t bother to read what we have to say (I’ve seen better humble brags but this is the best we’ve got right now). They just look at the pictures and move on. However, if you’re one of the handful who bothers and you’ve gotten this far, then you might know that there’s this recurrent theme about the importance of attribution.
Which brings us to this post. The name of the source is in Chinese characters (see the photo immediately below). When we copy and paste the Chinese characters in our attempts to attribute, we get ??? (literally). All is not lost however, as the links are perfectly good, so you can visit the source yourself. It’s a trip worth making.
All of the photos in this post are from the aforementioned source. My apologies to the artist/photographer for our cropping job.
You can see the Chinese characters on this cropped piece of the facebook header from ‘the source.’
A little change of pace.
We borrowed all of photos in this post from here. We cropped them all to enhance the size of the subject and to minimize distractions.
The first pot, 4 people dancing! Not 2…
The pots are beautiful. Worth displaying on their own. What sort of tree would be potted in them though? In all the bonsai websites I’ve looked at I don’t think I’ve ever seen a pot like these with a tree in it.
Hi Ann,
Yeah. You you almost never see these types of pots with trees in them.
