Description:
Nobue Ibaraki is a Japanese artist with exquisite craftsmanship. A symphony of nature and alchemy, Ibaraki builds earthenware vessels with an intriguing mix of organic and chemical processes. The soft earthy glaze containing cobalt, copper and other metal oxides enrich the surface and reacts gently with the heat from the kiln and the minerals in the clay, which are sourced locally in Tajimi, Japan. Her classic shapes and muted colour palettes evoke a sense of buried treasure or lost origins, whilst simultaneously maintaining refined and elegant forms.
This large bowl rests perfectly and has an earthy finish, with hints of matcha green and golden hues that softly move from beneath the base, and across the rounded body. With a lightly grained texture, the one-of-a-kind forms preserve the natural characteristics of the clay.
Please note - as these pieces are hand made the glaze, surface patterns and exact size will vary in each piece.
