Description
This charming bonsai pot by Hattori features a deep “Lotus” silhouette, characterized by its generous depth and soft, rounded walls that curve gently into a sturdy base. The finish is a smooth, satin-matte powder blue glaze. The outward-rolled rim provides a visual frame for the composition, while the discreet feet lift the vessel elegantly, ensuring both stability and proper drainage.
The soft blue hue of this pot makes it an exceptional choice for flowering and fruiting species, where the cool tone contrasts beautifully with warm blossoms or berries. It is particularly well-suited for Satsuki Azaleas, Japanese Quince (Chaenomeles), or a Cotoneaster. The pot’s depth also accommodates species with vigorous root systems or those styled in semi-cascade forms.

About the potter:
Hattori Tomoyuki (1951–2022) was a renowned potter associated with the Tokoname ceramic tradition, though he was born in Tajimi. Unique among his peers for his background, Hattori studied ceramic arts in Germany at the Koblenz University of Applied Sciences before establishing his kiln in Japan in 1977. His work is celebrated for its blend of technical precision—influenced by his German training—and traditional Japanese aesthetics. Hattori pots are highly regarded for their consistent quality, vibrant glazes, and usability in both cultivation and exhibition.
