Bigei - Rare Blue Glazed Round Style Bonsai Pot (3-15/16" wide)
Bigei (Hirata Atsumi) - I quite enjoy Bigei’s glazed pots. They are somewhat memorable once you are accustomed to seeing them, but can also fall into a crowd of pots easily. This beauty has a rich blue glaze and a clean design.
This pot is used, in great condition, and has Bigei’s chop (stamp) on the bottom. I’m proud to offer you pots that I find fantastic. Thank you very much for your interest. Enjoy 😊

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.
