This pot is made by the legendary Heian Tofukuji. Its a piece I picked up from yorozu en in February of 19. Its a stunning piece, a blue glaze that he perfected and became so famous for (greens too). He died in 1970 and is the only man that a single book on bonsai pots was ever made about. He made his pots in other peoples kilns as he was to poor to own his own kiln. Using the leftovers of other peoples kilns, his pots are vast and varied when it comes to glaze and style. This pot is an early work of his. You can see the faint stamp, his trade mark upside down trident maple stamp, on the bottom of the pot. There is a small split from firing that happened during the making of this pot. Its around 70-80 years old. I was also told it was used in kokufu several times. During that era making a good rectangle was very difficult. So the pot is slightly wonky. To appreciate Tofukuji is to except the flaws and add them to the beauty of his works. What a great pot. Sorry its so expensive, I paid a lot. And to find a glazed piece this size by him, go ahead and search. Its a very rare and special thing. Totally authentic piece by the legend. Stand(s) not included. Please see my other new additions in my store I will be putting new (old) pots up as time allows me to.
