I find the contrast quite appealing on a lot of pots...Perhaps it is a matter of un-refined taste on my part, but I do like them better...The major difference between bonsai pots and many other forms of ceramic ware is the feet...If I am choosing between two similar pots I will usually choose a pot with contrasting feet, unless it is one of those oval pots with the feet on the ends and sides instead of the corners [I really don't like those...always looks unbalanced to me]...I have even used a dremel and a stone tip to remove the glaze on some cheaper pots...Probably would never do this with a Tokoname pot though...

Regards
Behr
