A pair of green glazed pots with blue highlights, two pots in which the later influence of Tofukuji on potters such as Aiba Kouichiro(Kouyo) and Ino Shukuho can clearly be seen.
A blue glazed rectangle with a similiar glaze to the round in the previous post. This pot simultaneously calls to my mind blue flames and running water in a spring brook, an interesting contradiction.
An interesting multicolor glazed round with cut feet and a marvelous patina.
A light blue green glazed oval pot with cut feet.
A tall cascade style with Kiri Bako(kiri wood storage box).
A multicolored glazed small round, resembling the multicolored glazed pots of contemporay potter Bunzan.
A squat blue green glazed square with cut feet. Â This is a body style of pot common to Tofukuji, often seen glazed with darker blues, the lighter blue green glaze here is a little less common.
Another green glazed pot with silver and blue glazed highlights where Tofukuji’s influence on contemporary potter Ino Shukuho can clearly be seen, as in the next picture.
A metallic grey green glazed oval with a marvelous patina.
A deep blue oval, with cloud feet. Â This is the most common blue glaze seen in Tofukuji pots. Â A marvelous deep indigo.
Hope you have enjoyed these first two posts dealing with the glazed pots of Tofukuji. Â In the next post I’ll be showing off a few more pots from my own collection, then on to the unglazed pots and Hanko of Tofukuji.
I am an up and coming bonsai potter and think your website is super cool. Thanks for the inspiration by showing us some of those works.
Thanks for the comment Sage. As you can tell, I love sharing these pots as much as you love seeing them!
