Jane Spalding



 
Long a collector and student of Japanese ceramics, Jane Spalding began three years ago to incorporate Asian aesthetics and forms into her own work. The result is a wide-ranging collection of functional vessels -- some evincing soft shapes and subtle hues, others commanding attention with their bold textures and of-the-earth qualities.
 

 
"Terraced" Cup
