Formal description:

Japanese bonsai pot hand made by Aiba Kouyou / Koyou / Koyo of Tokoname, Mokko shape, external rim, cloud stamped feet, seal of Koyo underneath.

External dimensions:

170 x 145 x 60mm (6¾ x 5¾ x 2⅜ in)

Internal dimensions:

145 x 123 x 39mm (5¾ x 4⅞ x 1½ in)

Informal information:

A modern but different green pot from Koyo, the glaze looks similar to one his son Jukou might use.
The pot is styled after ancient Chinese designs, including the feet. Similar feet can be seen on pots by Ikkou, very traditional.
The glaze is deep and vibrant, I'm not sure of the mechanism but there's a subtle interplay between turquoise and Oribe with a slight crackle. With a little patina, this will be very special.

Condition: Unused, excellent.

Koyo, Mr. Aiba Kouichirou, born 1944, from a familiy of potters. He founded the Koyo kiln in the 1970's, his work 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.
