Yamaaki - Rare 2nd Gen Unglazed Round Nanban Style Bonsai Pot (5-7/8" wide)
Yamaaki - Rare 2nd Gen Unglazed Round Nanban Style Bonsai Pot (5-7/8" wide)
Yamaaki (Koshosen) - Quite rare pot from Koshosen; 2nd generation leader of the Yamaaki kiln. Of the three generations, his work is least common and quite different than that of his father and son. This is a classic round bowl nanban style pot and shows some age with its’ patina, but has a style still so relevant today.
This pot is used, in excellent condition, and has Koshosen’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 😊
Outer Dimensions:
5-7/8” diameter x 1-1/2” tall
Condition: Used
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.
