Glazed earthenware
Sizes range from 2″ to 9″ high

Nobue Ibaraki builds these earthenware vessels one at a time by hand in her studio in Tochigi, Japan. Each piece is unique. The glazes contain cobalt, copper and other metal oxides, which react to the heat of the kiln and allow her to achieve an extraordinary surface quality. The simple, classical forms and subtle colors evoke both the modern still lifes of Giorgio Morandi and objects that have weathered the elements since antiquity.

We are very pleased to offer Nobue’s work to New York collectors at our gallery in Long Island City.
