Hi all,
I have been on a spending splurge lately for saleable commercial pots but have found a couple I intend to keep.

Hi all,
Below is a Tosui pot painted by Tosui , according to translation of the characters; Kanji.
It is a second quality; it has a few blemishes but only if you look for them, mostly to do with the glazing firing, not the artistry of the painting.
I think the stories below make the pot even more interesting; knowing the detail from a native modern Japanese speaker.
Cheers,
grant

Which one is the Gekko? Are these for your personal collection?

The gekko is the patterned darker blue and white one on the far left.
Some of them I will keep and some I will sell. These pots looked good in the photos when I bought them, but in the flesh they’re even better.
I had not seen the real detail on this purple one for instance. The detail on the base is insane.

I don’t know the potter/artist.

The style looks like Heian Kosen but the pic of the bottom is too blurry to confirm

The pattern on the bottom of the purple glazed one may be something as simple as a piece of curtain material or shadecloth.
