Description
This unglazed brown bonsai pot by Keizan is made from a darker clay body than his usual works, giving it a rich and uncommon appearance. The rectangular form is softened by the large rounded corners and the horizontal band running across the pot’s midsection. This design not only reduces the pot’s visual weight but also adds a refined balance to the overall impression.
It is a versatile and elegant container that will enhance a wide variety of bonsai, from conifers to deciduous species. The unglazed finish will gradually develop a natural patina over time, further increasing the character and beauty of the piece.
