1. Deep Blue with Blue on Blue, Moyo, depicting a mountain-scape.
Earthenware, this is a Ming Dynasty Pot of extremely well
proportioned colour and size.10 "wide by 6.25" High. Its deep shades
are quite remarkable and reflect the high ability of the Pot Makers
or Glazers of this period. Like the pot in Number 3 Pot, an equally
fine glaze, these pots are not common. Chinese. Sold

the edges of the pot collapsing in the firing. Marked with he makers
seal, it is Chinese and dates from the 18th Century.13"x10"x2.5", it

| 6. A very rare and lovely old Kowatari pot
(old crossing between China and Japan). This large pot has Pear
Skin Nashikawa-Ara, Shudei-Da-En-Bachi with deep Shami-do. John Naka
talks about Pear skin pots in his books. Chinese Quing (Qianlong)
dynasty 1750 but may in fact be older. 40cmx30cmx13cm. I have been
told by a well known Japanese Bonsai Master that while a very fine Bonsai Pot it could actually have
started its life as an incense burner as there is
distinct burned areas on the inside of the base. This was not
unusual in such deep pots.
No signature, unlike some of the other pots but this is because
it is such a fine quality pot. It would have been made for a member
of the ruling family or the Imperial Palace. A pot of this quality
would not in most cases be allowed for export today but was
purchased in 1983 on behalf of Klaus Tribbe, the only non-Japanese
student at the Kitamura School of Bonsai. Klaus is now a Christian
Priest who runs a school in South Africa near Joburg and he sold me
this pot along with some others in 1993 to raise funds for the
school. He still grew Bonsai up until recently when he gave up due
to his work schedule.

9. Over the last few years many inexpensive Bonsai Trees have come
from Korea, Japan and China. Some of these little trees have been in
a crackle Glaze pot of white or cream colour. These are copies of
very old glazes that this pot is an example of. This is the real
thing. Dating from the 16th
Century, this is a very nice Chinese Pot of the sort popular during
that period. 7"x 2", this pot has fluted sides and petal edge to the
top with three curved feet. There will be another picture of this
pot later on.

1800. The Japanese Chrysanthemum and plum blossom design is in
white, pink, green and black around the design and the calligraphy
