New and vintage ceramics from around the world
I first came to ceramics at the age of 14 when I took a job at a small studio on Vancouver Island. While I worked as a glazer, I still became familiar with all the steps in a pottery business, from handling the raw materials to selling pots at arts festivals.
After studying Asian Art History at the University of British Columbia, I began to collect Japanese antiques which then expanded to contemporary art and photography. However, in the early 2000’s, the resurgence of interest in studio pottery made in British Columbia reignited my love for ceramics.
My interest in ceramics from Western Canada quickly expanded to those made in England and Japan - a progression that followed the influences which invigorated the studio pottery movement of the 20th century. Around 2020, my collecting had ignited into a passion. I then decided to sell ceramics as well. With the excuse that the more I sell the more I can buy, I am inspired by each piece that passes through my hands.

How to purchase
Each listing has a custom “Inquire” option. Once selected, you can send an email to either request to purchase or ask for more information.
All prices are in Canadian dollars, and once the cost of shipping has been determined, I can send an invoice through either Square or PayPal. Any applicable sales tax will be added for Canadian purchases.
While all sales are final, I hope my customers are happy with each purchase, and if there is a problem with an item, I will work with customers to resolve any issue.
Shipping
Each item requires custom packing and shipping, and if you let me know your region, I will be happy to provide a cost to ship via either Canada Post or DHL. I do not charge for packing, and shipping is at cost, without mark-up.
For international purchases, Canadian sales tax does not apply, however recipients are responsible for any import charges that might be due upon receipt of the shipment.
