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 enriches 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.
The rectangular plate rests impeccably, perfect for holding jewellery or special items. It has an ocean blue finish, with hints of rich brown hues that softly move from beneath the base, and across the linear 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.
