Large, handbuilt ceramic moon vase in dark blue by Nobue Ibaraki from September 2024.

Elegant and sublimely minimal, this stunning spherical vessel features a wide opening with two tiny handles on each side.

It's finished in one of her four, signature, textured glazes - a rich, powdery dark blue with washes of dark brown.
