Informal information:
A lovely older pot from 2nd gen Ikkou, Kazuhiro Watanabe, his pots are recognised as premium Tokoname works.
Ikkou's take on an Oribe green crystal glaze. Heavy crystallisation on the rim, breaking nicely over the buff clay at the edge, and then a deep oribe, pooling near the base, some black Copper saturation adding speckle.
There is a chip to the rim, but it can be placed to the back, and the price is reduced significantly to accomodate this.

Condition: Used, there is a small chip to the rim, otherwise excellent.
Kazuhiro Watanabe is the son of Shozan, he set out to differentiate his work from his fathers by focussing on small pots. His works focus on reproducing the best of ancient Chinese designs, in a higher fired clay. His work is very highly acclaimed, on many shohin exhibitions in Japan it will be an unglazed Ikkou pot holding the Pine at the top.
