Bonsai Pot, Tokoname, Reiho-zo, Large, Approximately 54.5cm Long, Oval Pot, Glazed, Used Pot - In Stock. Real name: Katsushi Kataoka. While most Tokoname ware focuses on unglazed ceramics, few potters specialize in glazed works. Kataoka primarily creates glazed bonsai pots and glazed suiban (water basins). He has earned a strong reputation at a young age for his efforts to reproduce the white Cochin and Jun glazes found in ancient and medieval Chinese pottery. Currently, he is considered one of Japan's leading creators of glazed bonsai pots, not just in Tokoname. In recent years, he has also produced Nanban-style unglazed ceramics, some with partial ash glazes, which are popular for their appealing, rustic Nanban aesthetic.
