Pottenbakkerij Hellendoorn created this stoneware vase in the Netherlands. This famous studio became known for its bold and tactile shapes. During the 1960s and 1970s, the makers focused on unique studio pieces. They experimented with textures inspired by nature. Therefore, this vase reflects the true spirit of that era. Many people love these Dutch ceramics for their raw beauty.

Artistic Glaze and Form
This vase is 29 cm tall and has a strong cylindrical shape. This form works perfectly with the “Fat Lava” glaze. Furthermore, the dark base contrasts beautifully with the thick cream top. This bubbly texture comes from a special reaction in the kiln. Because of this process, every vase is unique. No two pieces ever look exactly the same.

The proportions feel solid and balanced. Additionally, the narrow neck gives it a clean look. You can use it for flowers in your home. However, it also works well as a sculptural piece on its own. It fits perfectly in a modern or vintage interior. The texture feels rough and organic to the touch.
