The soft yellow glaze has a subtle crackle pattern. A small green scratch mark sits on the rim – a detail that reveals the craftsman's craftsmanship and humor.
In Japan, the crab is often seen as a symbol of determination and protection .
Its hard shell and strong claws represent strength that is not loud, but steadfast and vigilant – just as the crab guards its home, so the bonsai enthusiast watches over his tree – with attention, patience and quiet perseverance.
This pot beautifully captures that feeling: vibrant color, playful detail, and refined craftsmanship. A characterful choice for those who enjoy adding a touch of Japanese symbolism to their collection.
