The two Toshiko Takaezu Moonpots at Old Farm are now quite impressive with the lily garden subdued and the lawn not full of leaves yet this mild October. What a lovely weekend it was to garden on the Cape and take an inspirational trip to Nantucket.
Toshiko Takaezu became famous as a potter for elevating functional ceramic vessels into fine art. Her most popular series of Moonpots (1937-2010) were closed spherical ceramic sculptures; of which Bill repaired two he was given to save from structural cracks. Toshiko taught at Princeton University for twenty-five years and Bill spent a year as her apprentice in the Clinton, NJ studio.
Bottom images are of Nantucket window boxes and a garden in October when the landscaping and houses are still swell.
