These plant pots are made by Kasama ceramicist Shungo Nemoto. The intricate hand crafted designs are unique to each one, and decorated with the potter’s signature metallic glaze shades.

The creation of the pots stem from Nemoto’s personal passion for houseplants. They have holes on the base, and on the sides, according to the optimum positioning he developed through experimentation - and the very many such pots that can be found in his studio.

The pattern work has its inspiration in Jomon era ceramics of Japanese pre-history.

As each is handmade, there are small differences between the pots.

When purchased in store, they can be supplied with a plant.

Size: 12cm top diameter, 15cm bottom diameter, 10cm height

About Shungo Nemoto

Part of an emerging generation of ceramicists in Kasama, Shungo Nemoto has nevertheless spent many years perfecting his craft.  In particular, his glaze style and forms are each the product of years of careful refinement and development.  One style that defines his work is a textural glaze style which he can be translated to English as 'frost scales’.  The surface of pieces is decorated with swimming cold amoeba, that resemble the formation of ice.  Nemoto combines this decorations with angular shapes of great presence that allow his work to stand out within the Kasama ceramics scene.
