Glazed Ceramic Bonsai Pot – Blue & White Geisha 16 x 16 x 16 cm

A hand-painted glazed ceramic bonsai pot in the classic blue-and-white (sometsuke) style, measuring 16 x 16 x 16 cm. Cobalt-blue brushwork on a white ground shows a geisha in a flowing kimono, her hair dressed with ornaments, standing among branches of blossoming cherry (sakura) with drifting petals overhead. Four corner feet and a signed artist's mark on the base complete the piece.

The upright cube form suits a cascade, semi-cascade or literati tree, or a refined shohin that can carry the decoration. A generous grid of drainage holes and wiring provision is worked into the base. Sold as the empty pot only — no plant or soil included.
