I picked up these used pots during a recent trip to Japan,
Can someone identify who the potters are and if these pots are special or just run of the mill type pots?

Re: Used pots from Japan
Hi
That pot is by Mizutani. A mass produced line of pot in Japan. It is not considered to be an expensive pot in Japan.
PS- Japanese friend of mine has given these details to me.
Regarding the 3rd pic...

Re: Used pots from Japan
That first one has a really great aged patina - you've bought them because you like them & to enjoy?
If so, enough reason to consider all of these as "special" pots - regardless of the maker or price they may be worth.

Re: Used pots from Japan
1st one, ?? - pic of chop mark would confirm.
2nd one is production-grade slip cast - nothing special.
3rd one is a cracker Tokoname - Koyo (chop mark is pictured upside down) .... and an older one too - you can tell by the dark-coating on the clay, and the glaze dribble on the inside of the rim. It's a definite keeper.
