About the Item
Lobed Ceramic Vessel is a hand-built stoneware work by Chinese artist Darren Dai, created through an intuitive process of pinching, pressing, and forming by hand. No molds are used, allowing every curve to carry the direct imprint of the artist’s gesture. The opening resembles a softly unfolding petal and subtly echoes classical Chinese vase forms. Its textured surface and irregular rhythms suggest natural erosion, geological shifts, and the quiet emergence of form over time.
Fired at high temperatures, the clay retains an organic rawness that reflects Dai’s Taoist approach to making. Rather than forcing the material into predetermined shapes, he allows form to appear gradually through touch and observation. Each vessel is entirely unique, with variations in profile and surface that record moments of thought and movement. Both sculptural and functional, the piece embodies the harmony of fragility, strength, and stillness found in contemporary Chinese functional art.

Ceramic Vase with Bespoken Glaze by Makoto Yabe
By Makoto Yabe
Located in Atlanta, GA
Made by Japanese ceramic artist Makoto Yabe (1947-2005), this stoneware vase features a globular body supported by a round pedestal foot. A similarly shaped neck extends to a rimmed mouth opening. Robust in form with thick wall, the vase is noted for its irregular cloved form. The surface is covered in a beige-yellow glaze, on top of which, dark brown strokes and thick white feldspar slip were artistically applied in a splashed and washed pattern. Together with some random shallow incision lines, they form an abstract painting with textured surface where some slip forms small droplets at the end of the stroke. The work was created in traditional Japanese manner and reflects the beauty of Wabi Sabi, a Zen aesthetic for the imperfect perfection.
The base was incised with the artist's cipher.
"Makoto Yabe's work beautifully exemplifies the transmission of Japanese ceramics to the West. Born in Fukushima, Japan, Yabe began studying ceramics in Kyoto at the age of nine. He completed his training at the age of 24, with a four-year apprenticeship under Jinmatsu Uno and Sango Uno. Yabe then came to Boston, where he was an integral member of the local ceramic community, yet he maintained his Japanese roots. As an instructor of ceramics, Yabe worked in the Boston area at numerous schools and universities, touching the lives of all his students and expanding their knowledge and appreciation of studio ceramics."
