pinch pot

a very thick and heavy pot with the thickest glaze I have ever seen,a student piece perhaps?

Hi...i'm always trying to learn on this site(but as you can see by my purchases-not always successfully)...why pinch pot ?

the pot is formed by pinching clay

Thanks

That would be my guess.

the glaze is superb though

Yes. I agree..the glaze is great. Either a happy accident or maybe a more proficient potter than we think

I understand the Japanese like this roughly formed pottery

no one understands what the japanese like

The Japanese highly prize natural shapes - the pot determines it's own shape, not the potter - but they usually reserve that for traditional forms/vessels, eg the tea bowl. This doesn't look like a traditional vessel.

...they will also use simple brush strokes to apply the decoration, and this circle is a bit too elaborate.
