Handmade Weave-Style Accent Pot from Tokoname
As we were leaving the kiln, this piece caught my eye. I had first noticed a handmade clay watering can nearby, and then spotted this incredible weave-style accent pot. We have a number of woven-look pots at the nursery, but this one immediately stood out. It feels especially handmade, full of character, and even comes with its own matching tray / stand.
This is a highly unusual small pot with a sculptural basket-weave design built directly into the walls. The hand-formed clay strips, uneven edges, and visible construction marks give it a strong studio-made personality that feels authentic rather than decorative. The reddish Tokoname clay and the included tray make it even more distinctive as a display piece.
Because of its form and proportions, this piece would make an excellent accent pot, kusamono pot, or companion planting container. It has enough visual interest to stand on its own, but it would also pair beautifully with a seasonal accent planting or a small composition where the container itself is part of the story.

What makes this one special is the combination of texture, form, and presentation. The basket-weave construction gives it a very tactile, handmade feel, while the included tray turns it into a complete little display object. It is exactly the kind of piece that collectors and display-minded growers tend to remember.
