The ginkgo is about 16-18 inches tall...guessing here.
Sara is very accomodating when purchasing directly. If you see something on her site, or not, call her and she will email pics of what's available, if you don't want to wait for a made to order pot.

You can NEVER go wrong with a Sara Rayner pot.
The image is a sumo silverberry in a pot Sara made especially for this bonsai. Height is about 24 inches from the pot rim. Mike

Another USA potter you should consider is Dale Cochoy at Wild Things Bonsai.
Dale made this pot to the size I requested especially for this 32 inch tall Myrtle. Often, the only way to get the "just right" pot is to have it made for the tree. This will complete your vision for a special bonsai. Mike
