Yamaaki Vintage Unglazed Rectangle Bonsai Pot 16x11 Exceptional
Details
Yamaaki | Japan | Unglazed | Rectangle | worm eaten, Bold form, decrotive rim
This is a big, commanding Yamaaki rectangle — 16" wide by 11" deep, 4" tall — and it carries its size with real authority. The form is bold without being clunky: thick, heavy walls that feel like they were thrown with intention, and a decorative rim with confident stamp work that gives the lip a strong visual presence. The unglazed surface tells the story of its age honestly: worm-eaten texture woven through the body, the kind of surface character that only comes from decades in a collection or growing bed, not something you can fake or rush.
Provenance is solid. This one carries both a chop mark and nail signature — the combination that collectors want to see on a Yamaaki, confirming it's the real thing rather than a later attribution. At 16 inches, this is a serious landscape or formal upright pot with the visual weight to anchor a large deciduous or an impressive literati planting. Rim condition is noted as stamped, and the overall build is substantial — this is not a delicate piece, it's a workhorse with connoisseur credentials. Dimensions: 16" L x 11" W x 4" D.
Size: 11" × 16" × 4" deep
