Ian Broun Sprague (1920–1994) was an Australian twentieth-century studio potter, ceramic sculptor and graphic artist. Delayed by the Second World War and a false start in architecture, he spent (broadly) his forties adapting Australian domestic pottery to a Japanese aesthetic of contemplative use;[1] his fifties as a sculptor in two- and three-dimensional pottery; his sixties and seventies making landscape works on paper.
