Paul Green Abbey Studio Pottery Tenmoku Plate 1980s Zen Calligraphy Signed
An explosive brushstroke in ceramic form. This 1980s studio pottery plate by Paul Green (Abbey Studio) is a bold meditation on movement and stillness. Wheel-thrown, finished in high-gloss tenmoku glaze, and decorated with a sweeping brushstroke, it fuses Zen calligraphy’s energy with the soulful imperfection of wabi-sabi pottery. Made by Paul Green, Abbey Studio, signed on reverse. Glossy iron-rich tenmoku glaze with expressive brushwork across the surface. Strong ties to the Japanese-British tradition of Bernard Leach and Shoji Hamada. Decorative yet contemplative – equally an artwork and a ritual object. A rare piece that embodies the energy of Zen aesthetics in 20th-century British studio pottery. Set it on a stand (not included) in a study, living room, or meditation space. Let the brushstroke guide your eye, the thrown rings remind you of process, and the glossy glaze shift in changing light. More than décor – it’s mindfulness in material form.
