by Akihiko Watanabe Woodfired stoneware, fired iin a saggar. 9.3 x 9 x 9 cm
3 5/8 x 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 in Piece fired in a saggar to preserve the pristine surface quality and encourage gentle crazing of the celadon glaze.  Watanabe san is one of only a handful of potters in Japan using this technique which means only a fraction of the wares normally possible to fire in a kiln actually get fred due to the space take up by the saggars used to protect the works.
