Naginowa Shigaraki Ware Cut Blue Bronze Japanese Bonsai Pot 3.7 in.

This is a Shigaraki ware bonsai pot.

It is characterized by its bronze color, which is more blue than copper, giving it an earthenware-like depth of history.

The surface is glazed, and while smooth to the touch, it has a bumpy pattern with a surface feel, making it a recommended item for those who are tired of ordinary pots.

Since each item is individually handmade, there may be differences in appearance and feel from item to item. Please understand this beforehand.

This is Shigaraki ware. Shigaraki ware is a pottery produced mainly in the area around Koga County, Shiga Prefecture. Shigaraki is good at making large ceramics, and in the past, hibachi (brazier) was often made. In modern times, flowerpots, vases, and washbasins are also produced in large quantities. Shigaraki ware is also famous throughout Japan and the world for its raccoon dog figurines.
