Wabi Sabi Ceramics & Planters

Clay is the most wabi sabi material there is. It records the hand that shaped it, the heat of the kiln and, over years, the water and light of the room it lives in. The pieces in this collection are thrown, built or cast in small studios and glazed by hand, so no two are the same colour.

You will find bonsai pots in unglazed and speckled stoneware, planters in porcelain and cast concrete, tall vases and small bud vases, matcha bowls, pitchers and serving dishes in speckled and matte glazes, and magnesium oxide planters for outside.

Listings give the inside diameter and depth, whether there is a drainage hole and a saucer, and whether the piece is happy outdoors. Unglazed stoneware and concrete can live outside; glazed porcelain prefers to stay in. Care is stated per piece and is usually a rinse.

A planter or two on a live-edge table from wabi sabi furniture is often all a room needs. For bowls, boards and baskets, see wabi sabi home decor.
