We're pleased to be showing an on-line exhibition of nearly 200 pieces of the work of Pacific Northwest potter, George Gledhill.
Many of our WaSabiDou and Charaku friends have collected George's pots over the years through our two websites and through our Seattle showroom. The large collection will only be available to view at http://www.flickr.com/photos/110543685@N07/sets, or in the showroom by appointment. It features over 40 Tea Bowls, 60 Tea Cups, 25 Sake Cups, Vases, Dishes, Plates, Incense Containers, and more. Here's a preview of some of the items. Please have a look and let me know if you have any questions.

Our collection includes antique furniture (such as tansu,) antique through contemporary pottery from Japan, SE Asia, and America; folk textiles, woodblock prints, and other "komingu" (daily use items.) Contemporary pottery, prints, and other works are made by craftspeople inspired by Mingei, as well as wabi-sabi philosophy and aesthetics. We also retail a wide variety of Japanese tea and teawares, and promote tea education, through our Charaku Fine Japanese Tea website, www.charaku-tea.com.
