What are these Pots Called

[Thor]

Although your piece looks too "chunky" to be from Japan, I found "honde" in Japanese ceramics

"Different types of Karatsu ware have been appreciated by numerous tea masters. To be found among the major works of Karatsu ceramics are, Oku-Korai following the Korai tea bowls, Seto-Karatsu of honde and kawakujirade, Chosen-Karatsu coated with straw ash glaze (warabaiyu) and iron glaze (tetsuameyu), E-Garatsu depicted with iron or copper glaze and coated with translucent glaze, and Madara-Karatsu having blue spots of straw ash glaze. Karatsu ware is characterized by the paddling technique (tatakizukuri) in which strings of clay are stacked on a wheel and the outside is paddled with a wooden paddle into shape with the inside supported by battens. This is said to have been handed down from Korea."

and
"Satsuma-Yaki is a faience of several varie ties and localities as well as periods; the °Go honde° Yoshiro-stamped product alone is of eight styles (according to color and appear ance of glaze), and the Kumagawa finely crackled brown paste, buff-glazed ware is an other held in great esteem by Japanese con noisseurs; it originated the ware that later be came world famous."
