French ceramicist Arielle de Gasquet lives in Paris but her work has been influenced by the Japanese ceramic tradition having learned her craft from Japanese masters. Her pieces have a distinctly modern sensibility, the contemporary contours offering a stylish edge to any tea time occasion. This teapot and cup set has an intense matte black glaze. Being handmade, each piece is unique making them objects to truly treasure as well as celebrate the everyday occasion of enjoying a cup of tea.
It was while living in New York a decade ago that Parisian, Arielle de Gasquet fell into ceramics – “you could say that ceramics found me”. Looking to make a vase for her ikebana course she was introduced to a ceramics studio filled with members of the Japanese community – “they kindly said I must have been a ceramicist in another life”.
