AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful handcrafted ceramic bonsai pot, in shohin size, featuring a nuanced green-gray glaze with turquoise edges and controlled drips.
The piece is engraved beneath the signature base with the vertical inscription 秀世之盆 (Xiùshì Zhīpén), belonging to a contemporary Chinese workshop specializing in enameled pots for bonsai.
This type of production is characteristic of modern workshops in China (Yixing and the southeast), recognized for their soft enamels and harmonious shapes, highly appreciated in shohin/mame bonsai.
