In the collection

  • Tall Vessel, Celadon

    Aiko Mori · 2003

    Mori throws her tall forms in two sections and joins them while the clay is soft; the seam is the faint ring at the shoulder.

  • Moon Jar

    Aiko Mori · 2008

    A round white jar slightly out of round, as moon jars should be. The glaze pooled warm where the kiln was hottest.

  • Ash-Glazed Bowl

    Aiko Mori · 2011

    Fired for four days in a wood kiln; the green runs are wood ash that melted into glass on the rim.

  • Pair of Cups

    Aiko Mori · 2015

    Made for the museum's tenth tea evening and then kept: one cup is a little taller, for the host.

  • Black Vessel

    Aiko Mori · 2019

    The glaze breaks to rust on every edge. Mori calls this the vessel's way of showing where it has been touched.
