Square handmade pot with brown crystal glaze
From the workshop of Heian Kōsen in Kyoto comes this finely balanced square bonsai pot, notable for its rare brown crystal glaze. Within the surface, minute crystalline patterns emerge, catching the light in subtle, shifting reflections that make each piece unmistakably unique.
The square form—133 × 133 × 80 mm outer, 110 × 110 × 60 mm inner—offers a sense of quiet stability, while the glaze introduces depth and movement. The combination lends the vessel both strength and refinement, making it especially suited for bonsai that call for a pot with understated presence yet rich detail.
As with all of Kōsen’s work, this handmade pot is the product of mastery, patience, and a profound dialogue between clay, fire, and glaze. It is not only a container for bonsai, but a piece of art in its own right.
