Below is a selection of the Japanese pottery that are part of current Harlequin Gallery exhibition and can be viewed by appointment. More will be added over the next week or so.
We believe that the Harlequin Gallery was the first British gallery to deal in general Japanese studio pottery when we started to do so back in 2005.
A full set of larger images are always available upon request.
