Informal information:

Spectacular yet subtle, an ideal companion for a semi-cascading flowering tree, this pot has a patina that mellows the glaze and is best shown when lightly oiled. The pot also sports a rarer Koyo seal / signature for the collectors out there!

Condition: Used, excellent.

Koyo, Mr. Aiba Kouichirou, born 1944, from a familiy of potters. He founded the Koyo kiln in the 1970's, prolific output, strong, well made frost resistant pots; his work is always very popular. Perhaps his most famous glaze is the green crystal oribe, which changed over time and really gained it's own identity apart from the famous ones of Tofukuji and Ino Shukuho. His pots are reliable as well as great to look at.
