Our Ceramics

The extraordinary relationship between pottery and the Tea Ceremony is at the heart Keiko Uchida’s outstanding collection of Japanese ceramics, which represents some of the key names of Japanese pottery, notable kilns and districts. Keiko’s regular trips to Japan have allowed her to build up exceptional relationships with a number of these potters and kiln centres, as well as to make exciting discoveries of under-appreciated artists on her journeys into the hills.

These include Mashiko artists such as Tomoo Hamada (grandson of the illustrious Shoji Hamada), Fujiya Sakuma and Kan Matsuzaki (son of Mingei master Ken Matsuzaki); and the Karatsu potter Koji Inoue.

There are examples of great skill, beauty and interest, and a wide range of price levels. The collection also features studio pieces: limited editions that include ranges of teapots and teacups, plates and other tea ware. All the ceramics are on display in the Notting Hill store and also available online.
