THOMAS K LIBBY,
formerly Cannondale Antiques and The Studio of Wilton, Connecticut, is
now located in Historic South Norwalk, easily accessible from I-95 and
the Merritt Parkway (see Where to Find Us), and is now under an
umbrella name with The Studio ~ ceramics restoration and conservation.
Our new location is a bigger, brighter space with a well-lit studio
and is every bit as comfortable and charming as was our shop in
Cannondale Village. Thomas K Libby specializes in traditional Japanese
ceramics and Arts and Crafts era pottery, Chinese porcelain, and
Western art pottery of Asian influence.
We hold the country's largest collection of ceramics from Awaji Island,
Japan, as well as a collection of related pottery from the city of
Kyoto. Called "extraordinarily elegant" and "delightfully animated" in
a recent review of our collection by The New York Times,
these Japanese pottery styles are thought to have had a profound
influence on the aesthetic and art pottery movements in the West. The
Awaji pottery is admired for its bright colors, robust shapes, and
creatively incised, painted, and applied decoration. While there is a wide breadth of styles and quality, our collection mainly focuses on the finer examples of the form, while still maintaining a keenly honed selection for the beginning collector.
Thomas K Libby has grown out of the original ceramics restoration
business known as The Studio, and Cannondale Antiques, purveyors of
fine antique and vintage ceramics. Just as our collection has grown,
so have we!
Regular hours are Tuesday through Saturday 11am to 5pm; Sundays & Mondays by appointment or by chance.
