Informal information:
A very shallow suiban from Tosui, perfect for cut stones or display of rock planted bonsai.
The glaze is a traditional dark Ruri blue with a second glaze layered over the top, creating a subtle gold and blue landscape. The very shallow feet are also in a very pleasing ratio to the width of the pot.
The top surface is less refined, there are small bumps (presumambly grog) and the brushstrokes are evident. However, if filled with sand or water the appearance will be fine.
Condition: Used, excellent.
