Informal information:
Mould made and hand finished, a large practical pot from Shosen, 1st generation potter of the Yamaaki kiln. This pot has some dings, but I picked this up for it's age and colour. Shosen pots tend towards purple, but this is just an incredible rich, deep brown with a long fade of patina, superb pot.
The pot has a little watermarking, but as can be seen, with a light oiling these disappear.
Condition: Used, small dings (see pics), patina, excellent.
Jyuedo Shosen - real name "Katakoka Akitsuga" started the Yamaaki kiln, thus his pots are known as 1st generation Yamaaki. The kiln was fired by three generations of potters, until it finally went 'cold' in 2011. Jyuedo Shousen passed away in 1990, this pot is between 34 and 100 years old.
