Bigei - Rare Small Unglazed Hexagon Style Bonsai Pot (3-1/2" wide)
Bigei (Hirata Atsumi) - I love these little hexagons. They’re more often seen with carvings, so the simplicity of these and the lower price are nice.
This pot is barely used, in excellent condition, and has Bigei’s signature on the bottom. I’m proud to offer you pots that I find fantastic. Thank you very much for your interest. Enjoy 😊
Outer Dimensions:

Potter/Kiln Info: Hirata Atsumi, born in 1939, delved into ceramics in 1958. Self-taught on the potter's wheel, he ventured into crafting unglazed bonsai pots in 1969. By 1975, he had established his own kiln. Bigei is often known for his esteemed shaded shudei (vermilion) shohin pots, which have earned him high regard among shohin bonsai enthusiasts. Notably, shudei bokashi refers to vermilion clay shaded from light to dark. Due to Bigei's retirement, his pots are anticipated to become increasingly rare in the years ahead.
