Untitled

Regional ceramic foundry Shigeyuki Tanba has existed in one form or another for over 800 years in the Japanese village of Tachikui, Hyogo. Having developed a reputation for simple, elegant production — this untitled piece also reflects a new contemporary interest in cleaner line, the use of a thinner and purely white porcelain clay, and the ornamental arrangement of shifting planes that adroitly embody nature.
