What diameter is your pot Hakumin? Nice neo pots are hard to come by. Other than NWO and SE are there any other sources available from the States?

This one is a large-ish #4 pot... Outer diameter is 12cm and inner diameter is about 8.5cm.
Other than NWO and SE, Orchids Ltd has some on occasion, though I think right now they only have plain unglazed ceramic ones.
I've bought some of my pots from greeny-pottery, the ebay neofinetia dealer in the UK, but I've ended up buying most of my pots directly from Japan and Korea from various online vendors there.
The majority of the pots I have are Korean, made by the same studio as this one. I've like their style a lot--they're more subdued than many of the Japanese ones I come across. I'm not a big fan of the super-ornate raku pottery ones (Nishiki-bachi).
The Japanese made pots that I absolutely love however are the openwork ones. I currently have one that I have my Houmeiden potted in that I got for about $200. Which is super expensive in many's view, I know, but I've seen some openwork pots go for over 5000 dollars.
For what it's worth, I do collect ceramics too, and as I said, my nice pots for neos just happens to feed both my neo and ceramics interests.
