Yamaaki (Kataoka Akitsugi) - A beautiful old pot that has been cared for and used for most it’s 40+ year life. This is a workhorse design from Yamaaki that I’ve always loved. It is stout, sturdy, and looks great oiled or left alone.
This pot is well used, but cared for so well that the only the defect is the chip on the foot (shown in last pic). Otherwise, it has a beautiful patina, and has the 1st generation Yamaaki chop (stamp) on the bottom. It even still has some of the original kiln sticker. I’m proud to offer you pots that I find fantastic. Thank you very much for your interest. Enjoy 😊

Potter/Kiln Info: Established by Akitsuga Kataoka, the Yamaaki kiln holds a legacy spanning three generations. Akitsuga, the first-generation potter, created highly sought-after pots, some now 6 decades old. His son, Sadamitsu Kataoka (Koshosen), the second generation, surpassed his father in diversity, construction, quality, and value. Toshio Kataoka, the third generation, led the kiln until its closure in 2011. Despite distinct styles, all Yamaaki pots boast good quality and usability.
