Japanese Studio Ceramics

Japanese and British 20th Century Studio Ceramics

This October, Christie’s Japanese department presents an online auction of 20th century studio ceramics—many of which have not appeared in the market for decades. The sale features works by top British ceramicists including Bernard, Janet and David Leach, Michael Cardew, Lucie Rie and Hans Coper as well as influential Japanese potters, Shoji Hamada and Kanjiro Kawai, among others. This curated selection provides emerging and seasoned collectors alike exciting opportunities to acquire unique works influenced by Japanese aesthetics, from England to Japan.
