I just love this double-gourd shape, or bottle pumpkin as we call it in Dutch. It is both classic and exotic to me, and it reflects that late nineteenth-century sense of mystery and adventure. Vase Camil is made of a bright, coarse stoneware clay and covered in layers of matte white glaze. He has some imperfections near the foot and one near the rim, but who cares?
clay: coarse red
glazes: glossy white on the inside and matte white on the outside.

I am an artisan potter based in Amsterdam. I create ceramic pieces I love and share them with you. I focus on making vases, bowls, and pots. If you’d like something custom-made, just ask—I can craft one especially for you or your loved ones (dead or alive). My work is sometimes dark and quirky, even wonky if that’s your style. I’m not overly concerned with traditional perfection.
I strive to create useful and beautiful pieces. Even without flowers, brushes, or branches, my vases can stand alone as beautiful objects. They are tough—but please, don’t throw them at people. All of my shapes and glazes are homebrewed, made right here in what I call Mokum.
