Informal information:
A fine old cascade pot. This pot has some patina and calcium deposits. The last picture shows the pot before oiling, all other photos are after a light application of Camellia oil. The combination of oil and patina produces a soft, aged sheen unlike a clean glaze.
The glaze is a typical deep Ruri blue with some very attractive variegation and light / dark areas. Ideal for a semi-cascade flowering tree.
Condition: Used, light patina & calcium deposits, excellent.
Yamaaki, 3rd Generation Potter Kataoaka Toshio. The kiln was started by Katakoka Akitsuga and fired by three generations of potters, until it finally went 'cold' in 2011. It was the most productive bonsai pot kiln in Tokoname, fired with gas which gives those fantastic clay colours mimicking the pots of ancient China. Toshio does seem to prefer a purplish hue much like Akitsuga. There are a lot of production Yamaaki pots available, those with nail carved signatures were hand made by the Kataoka family, and consequently more valuable.
