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 bigger, brighter space and well-lit studio will soon be 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.
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.
