The clay is typical, and the reduction firing has brought a nice blotchiness to the iron content. The shape is ideal for an informal or semi-cascade style, and also provides some useful depth. The dynamic rim allows a variety of 'fronts' to suit the nature of your tree. You can find examples of his pots online, I try to pick up the ones with the most interesting shapes and firing results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e: unused, excellent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMatsushita, \u003c\/strong\u003eHiroyuki Matsushita, born 1960, 4th generation potter of the Tokoname Matsushita pottery, his father is Reiho. His work is a departure from ancient Chinese styles, but is based on research of old Tokoname clay, firing and making methods. He started as an avant-garde potter, but came back to bonsai pots, his work is both recognisably his and popular.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Georgia\" size=\"4\"\u003eShipping:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Georgia\" size=\"4\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Georgia\" size=\"4\"\u003eShipping within the UK is \u003cstrong\u003eincluded in the price\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eI usually ship with Royal Mail, if you prefer DPD or Evri, please add a note to your order or email.
