Tokoname is the name of a city in Japan which is very famous for producing ceramics. In fact, Tokoname is more famous for producing toilets rather than bonsai containers.
ANY container made in the city of Tokoname can be called "Tokoname-ware". They have innexpensive and poor quality bonsai containers as well as fine quality containers too. However, most are of a higher quality than poor.
So, just saying one has a "Tokoname Pot" does not mean too much to me, other than it might be a good container which was made in Tokoname.
