Below is a selection of the Japanese pottery that is currently available at the Harlequin Gallery. To view these hover the mouse over the image to see the maker. Click on the image if you wish to see a larger version and all the relevant information. We believe that the Harlequin Gallery was the first British gallery to deal in Japanese studio pottery when we started to do so back in 2005. Since then we have tried to show as varied a selection as possible and to keep prices reasonable, as opposed to some of the prices being asked by other galleries these days. Note: British studio pottery available can be found on the "Recent Acquisitions" page as usual.
