Seizan Mitsue, Round, Unglazed, 115 x 90mm

From the Seizan kiln in Tokoname, Japan, this round, unglazed container is crafted by Seizan Mitsue in collaboration with her husband Kataoka Katsushi (Reiho). Rooted in Tokoname’s enduring ceramic tradition, each piece carries a distinctive handmade quality that reflects the region’s artistry and heritage.

Specifically designed for bonsai, ikebana and kusamono, this vessel balances beauty, function and form. The round silhouette paired with an unglazed surface highlights the tree’s character while providing a quiet, adaptable frame. Its organic lines, the raw clay texture, and the subtle, thoughtful detailing invite the plant to be the star of the display, without competing with the surrounding composition.

Dimensions: 115 x 90 mm. Round footprint with an unglazed finish that emphasizes texture and natural warmth. The proportion and restrained detail are crafted for dynamic bonsai displays where craftsmanship, balance, and restraint matter as much as the plant itself.
