Oval Containers - thrown and slab formed

  are constructed initially as wheel thrown clay walls that are re-shaped
  then affixed to a slab floor. A separate thrown foot is then attached.
  Custom sized containers can be made up to 36" in length, depth
  as required. See the process illustrated in the article, "Union of Tree and
  Clay, Bonsai Today, issue #69 or in the slide show on this site,
  "The Making and Firing of an Oval Bonsai Pot."
