Formal description:
Handmade bonsai pot from the Yamaaki Kiln, 3rd Gen. Toshio. Oval shape with sloping sides in red clay with pale blue 'Kinyo' glaze over, integrated feet, seal of Yamaaki and hand signed by Toshio underneath.

Informal information:
Typical excellent quality pot from Yamaaki, the glaze is simple with subtle detail. Kinyo is a name meaning "Robins egg blue", a pale blue colour with Chinese origins, usually variegated. This pot would suit many deciduous trees, typically Maples.
Condition: Used, slight wobble, 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.
