Potter: 2nd Gen Watanabe Fumikazu (Jokousan)

A large, unglazed, rectangular pot, integrated feet, with rounded corners, featuring an inner rim with robust grounding and visual weight, yet it has a feminine sense of feeling. 

The day I saw this pot at auction, I knew that I wanted it, no matter the cost. 

So, I will keep it in my collection for now, as I really love it.
