Glazed Ceramic Bonsai Pot – Blue & White Great Wave 13 x 13 x 13 cm

A hand-painted glazed ceramic bonsai pot in blue-and-white (sometsuke), measuring 13 x 13 x 13 cm. The cream-glazed, flared round body carries a lively cobalt drawing after the Great Wave — curling crests of foam, a small boat and Mount Fuji beyond — painted freehand so that no two sides are quite alike. A second face turns to a pine, a hillside pagoda and a blossoming branch.

The compact upright cup shape suits a cascade, semi-cascade or a lively shohin that echoes the movement of the wave. Drainage holes are provided in the base and the piece is signed beneath. Sold as the empty pot only — no plant or soil included.
