Yuki Abe Hibi-e Earrings, Half Circle Stripe

These are works by Yuuki Abe, a ceramic artist who creates pottery in Toyohashi City, Aichi Prefecture.

Ms. Abe values "the interesting shapes, textures, and patterns that clay creates on its own." She primarily produces a "Tetsue" series, where patterns are drawn with iron-containing pigments, and a "Hibie" series, where patterns are created by cracks in white slip.

Having previously worked in architecture, many of her pieces feature very modern designs, and she is particular about creating textures that evoke the natural feel unique to ceramics.

■ Size: 14mm x 27mm x 2mm thickness (excluding metal fittings)
■ Weight: Approximately 3g (per piece)
■ Texture: Matte

*Due to being handmade one by one, there may be slight individual differences in size, color, and weight.
