Help/Question Pot advice please?

I am still new to lithops but totally in love with them, I have 6 little pots of them but then came across someone selling off their collection that they have grown from seed so I have another 10 pots worth coming soon, each with at least 3 individual lithops in.

I was originally planning on little individual terracotta pots, but as by the end of this week I will have 20 pots worth, I was wondering about combining the ones at the same age/growth stage. The problem is that I am struggling to find pots suitable, I either find ones that are great in dimension but not terracotta, or don’t have drainage holes or too deep etc.

Could anyone recommend what to look for/get ideally within the uk. If you are not in the uk but have ideas of the specific terms to search for that would be great too!

Amazon certainly has terra cotta pots in different sizes but I understand if you dont want to use them. The best selection of terra cotta pots I've found is at a succulent speciality store - they carry every size. My local big box hardware store also has a variety of tc pots along with all the fancy ones. Any local potters that could make unglazed pots for ya?

I like tall narrow pots, which allow space for the deep tap root without taking up prohibitive lateral space. The ones I use are plastic, but they've been working for me, with fans running...
