Description
This shohin-sized square cascade bonsai pot exemplifies the high-quality glazing techniques synonymous with Seto ware. The pot features a subtle greyish-white base overlaid with striking red accents, creating a warm, mottled aesthetic. The rim is gentle and rounded, transitioning smoothly into the tapered body, while the unglazed clay feet provide stability and a tactile contrast to the smooth, glossy finish.
The warm red tones of this pot make it an exceptional pairing for flowering species, such as a shohin Satsuki Azalea or flowering Quince (Chojubai), where the glaze will complement the blooms.

About the pottery:
Seto (Seto-yaki) refers to ceramics produced in and around Seto City in Aichi Prefecture, recognized as one of Japan’s Six Ancient Kilns with a pottery tradition spanning over 1,000 years. Renowned for their mastery of diverse glazes and firing techniques, Seto kilns produce a wide range of ceramics, from tea ceremony utensils to high-quality bonsai pots. The region’s influence is so profound that the term “setomono” has become a generic word for ceramics in the Japanese language.
