As many of you know I have, forsome time, been finding and then making available pieces by Shoji Hamada , Tatsuzo Shimaoka and Shinsaku Hamada. We have held two exhibitions at the pottery in Rhayader and both were hugely successful.

On this page I will place pieces as and when I can obtain them for you to see and contemplate purchasing. As always, I try to find the best pieces within a budget and I try to keep the purchase price as reasonable as I can.

If there is anything here that you might be interested in I can usually supply further pictures or arrange a suitable time for you to see the piece in the flesh. Please email me or telephone for further information. For customers within the UK we can usually arrange for a physical handover so not to risk posting. For overseas clients we would need to use a shipper as the Post Office do not insure. Overseas clients need to allow approx. £100 for shipping although I will try my best to get the best price possible.

Vase by Hamada Shoji.

Tenmoku and Nuka Glaze.

With a signed and sealed wooden box.

The tenmoku has been finger wiped around the bottom edge.  9.75 inches
A wooden box signed and sealed by Hamada Shinsaku.
This relaxed vase has a deceptively simple proportion and owes something to the mediaeval European tradition that Hamada encountered while in England in the 1920′s. The area where the two glazes meet is particularly beautiful and was achieved by dipping the second glaze while the first glaze was still wet.

£2,200
