Antique Japanese Shigaraki White Green Crackle Glazed Square Bonsai Pot Patina
Ko-Shigaraki-yaki or old Shigaraki ware square. One of the Six Ancient Kilns of Japan. Stoneware has been produced in Shigaraki for over seven centuries. This pot dates from the late Taish or early Shwa era, so about 85-100 years old. It features a natural kkai ash fall glaze made with pine wood. This is actually a rare variant called bdoro, characterized by the strong green tint. This color and crackle pattern was first seen on Ge wares of the Chinese Song Dynasty. The Japanese often simply refer to this pattern as hyretsu or cracked ice. In this case Id prefer the Chinese terminology jns-tixiàn. Or gold thread & iron wire, as it so poetically describes the larger, coarser crazing (filled with ink) and the network of tiny, fine cracks between. The crawling of the glaze adds interest too. 6.6 x 6.6 x 2.25 inches (17 x 17 x 5.5 cm) Heavily used with a great patina.

There are 4-6 smallish, old chips along the rim, but no cracks. Check my other listings for more quality bonsai pots.
