Near-spherical moon jar part thrown and partly coiled from red stoneware which has blackened where exposed to the firing. Narrow fragmented rim, torn away so that half hangs down into the interior, and shoulder dented and ripped to one side. Irregular pieces of clay applied around the shoulder add to the crepuscular surface built up from layers of dripped slips and thick crackled blue-white and slime-green glazes, together suggesting a volcanic eruption which has left both icy cold and carbonised heat remains – perhaps the surface of the moon itself. The interior more smoothly glazed.

She studied ceramics at the University of Westminster and Central St Martins and has taught at Kensington & Chelsea College. She opened her own studio in the Chocolate Factory, Stoke Newington, in 2003. Her attraction to the moon jar form stems from the Korean jar owned by Bernard Leach and Lucie Rie, finding a reflection of the irregularities of landscape in its seeming imperfections and inspired by the way it wore its past. Hirai throws the bottom half of her moon jars and coils the upper part, pushing the clay to its limit ‘to reach the moment before collapse’, in each jar seeing the form anew, ‘something ambiguous, unsettled and imaginative’. reference term-110474 adlib-term-110474 df17782b-5b38-3514-8980-4cbde6d56842 21st Century reference term-135733 adlib-term-135733 2d01d066-2c77-312c-881d-70934b64da75 literal England England country literal London London region Stoke Newington reference term-32652 adlib-term-32652 82d8ae3b-f165-395c-ba93-dfa1c282b7be glaze reference term-42825 adlib-term-42825 858e5d17-b554-33d6-936f-25b16f72f39d stoneware Diameter cm 55 Height cm 49 reference media-215108 adlib-media-215108 690b0a4f-7eb8-37dc-bdfe-48e9a7e3a583 jpeg aa/aa40/large_C_11_2018_1_201901_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 812 width pixels 1024 1616258633386 1 image jpeg aa/aa40/mid_C_11_2018_1_201901_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 397 width pixels 500 1616258633386 1 image jpeg aa/aa40/C_11_2018_1_201901_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 813 width pixels 1025 1616258633386 1 image jpeg aa/aa40/preview_C_11_2018_1_201901_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 198 width pixels 250 1616258633386 1 image 0 media image reference media-215109 adlib-media-215109 3ffd096a-0a82-37da-b025-8d3ddbe38a51 jpeg aa/aa40/large_C_11_2018_2_201901_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 768 width pixels 1024 1616250526329 1 image jpeg aa/aa40/mid_C_11_2018_2_201901_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 375 width pixels 500 1616250526329 1 image jpeg aa/aa40/C_11_2018_2_201901_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 769 width pixels 1025 1616250526329 1 image jpeg aa/aa40/preview_C_11_2018_2_201901_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 188 width pixels 250 1616250526329 1 image 1 media image reference media-215110 adlib-media-215110 18690cfe-e1d2-363a-8534-adef6cd9b77c jpeg aa/aa40/large_C_11_2018_3_201901_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 768 width pixels 1024 1616242853731 1 image jpeg aa/aa40/mid_C_11_2018_3_201901_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 375 width pixels 500 1616242853731 1 image jpeg aa/aa40/C_11_2018_3_201901_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 769 width pixels 1025 1616242853731 1 image jpeg aa/aa40/preview_C_11_2018_3_201901_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 188 width pixels 250 1616242853731 1 image 2 media image reference term-135732 adlib-term-135732 a0042bec-4964-3800-8ada-907f418e815c moon jar reference term-89198 adlib-term-89198 9b93ca03-061f-3c1c-a79f-707511cc4791 vessel history note Bought from Contemporary Applied Arts, Southwark Street, London SE1. 1 same maker reference object-207964 adlib-object-207964 c4a369f3-0a32-37c3-ad95-6f71ada164fe
