I really like this piece. I think it was made in Japan although I could be wrong. I love the glaze that was used on it. It's absolutely stunning. The blue color is also very shinning, which makes the piece look new and shiny. The piece is also perfectly symmetrical, which is a thing I really appreciate in ceramics. The patterns on this pot are also very creative and original. They are also very bold, which makes them stand out. This piece has so many good qualities to it, and hopefully I will be able to make something half as good as it by the end of the semester.
