Etsuji Noguchi Flat Plate 8"

Noguchi's collection features surfaces that evoke natural elements and weathered landscapes. His pieces display distinctive colorations achieved through multiple firings, creating textured finishes that recall oxidized metal, volcanic stone, and earth.Based in Kagoshima, Japan, Noguchi apprenticed under master ceramicist Takashi Nakazato and has built wood-fired kilns internationally. He describes his aesthetic as "calm and powerful, primitive and modern," creating vessels designed to support what they hold rather than demand attention.
