shino takeda planters.

new york based japanese ceramicist shino takeda's planters have captured me today...

you can find them on the koromiko site here, a site founded by new zealander turned texan, tracey george who's mission is to promote and support independent designers like shino and her work.

shino grew up on kyushu island in southern japan and was influenced by her mother's ceramic collection. she creates perfectly imperfect pieces and in the fashion of traditional japanese forms with "new york freshness". i love the subtle color palette and soft blurry lines sort of bleeding from each piece. just gorgeous! enjoy...
