Ito Shika (Wife to Gekko) pots are decidedly rare, this one conveys a light hearted spirit with it's simple but attractive geometric design. Despite that simplicity, the throwing has been done with great care and precision, also glazed underneath, the result is a fine piece.
Condition: Unused, excellent.
