Which pot? Empty Which pot?

I've had this little trident for nearly 10 years now and it has had several homes over those years.  Some of the pots fit it, others didn't.

Which of them -- presented here in no particular order -- do you think fit this tree best?

1.  Which pot? Mame_310

2. Which pot? Mame_a10

3.  Which pot? Mame_311

4. Which pot? Mame_a11

5. Which pot? Mame_a13

and, and old pic, but I still have the pot:

6. Which pot? Mame_t10

I have a couple of other deep cascade pots (blue green) that I've never considered for it.

Because I like most all of the pots. The first pot is what it's in today. Pot 3 (Tokonome ware) almost insists that this be a cascade, and while it's OK as a cascade, I like it as a semi-cascade/literati better. Pot 2 -- antique Japanese -- is probably the best pot I own, but there's something else in it now. Pot 5 is another favorite and another old Japanese pot -- tho not antique. Pot 4 is a converted teacup.

No crime being wishy-washy at my age.

#1 for me too. I also like #3, but agree that the tree is better more upright. Maybe you could find a pot with that shape and coloring that is not as deep???

No 1 for me. It has a calming that the others do not have.

#1 is very elegant,but I like #3 the best. it gives a sence of rugedness with the barren white pot and accents the trees form of a harse encvironment.

Thanks all, I think I'm leaning toward keeping it in its current pot (#1). The blue one would be a good alternative. It's not too late to change my mind, though.

Judy, I thought I had found a shallower one, but my memory "done me in" and now I have two identical white pots. It seems to look shallower when empty.

I invite you all to have a look at my posts in the display sections, since they're related -- kinda.
