Paired with an elegant orange-yellow crackle glaze oval pot. This is the final remaining piece from a collector's stash, a discontinued pot from over 20 years ago. An early Taiwanese export to Japan, known as a "Fuji-san pot." Referred to by seasoned collectors as a "W pot." With the foliage providing some shade, moss grows exceptionally well.
