How could I do this?
Edmund de Waal is, despite his Dutch-sounding name, and Englishman. His father was the Dean of Canterbury Cathedral, in fact. Early in his formal education he elected to study in Japan under a master potter, and the influence is clear.
His work is marked by what might be called meta-pottery: he produces vast numbers of individual pieces, then selects from among those and creates visual displays with fine cabinetry and exquisite lighting effects. Virtually all of his works feature a simple white, black or earth-tone glaze.
Extraordinary.
I see this one and think of musical notes, perhaps Erik Satie or Arvo Part.
I could post images all day.
