About the Item
Set of large planters / decorative vases by dutch company Mobach. Strong and heavy in light various tones of beige and brown.
_____________________________________________________________
The company was founded in 1895 in Utrecht as the Utrechtsche Pottenfabriek by Klaas Jaan Mobach, who came from a Frisian potter's family. Several generations have continued it. The process of making ceramics has remained almost the same throughout history. The pottery is turned in small series or as one-offs or built up manually from clay rolls or plates, after which it is glazed. The man-sized planters and vases in particular are well-known ceramic products from Mobach. Piet Klaarhamer and Gerrit Rietveld designed a number of vases.
The factory building on Kanaalweg along the Merwede Canal, dating from 1913, together with three associated workers' houses, have the status of a national monument. Part of the collection is housed at that location in a museum that is open once a year.
Since 1910, the Mobach family also ran a shop at Oudegracht 198 where they sold their ceramics. The store was taken over by another owner in 1970 and moved to the Choorstraat in 1975

Mobach
Since the establishment, five generations of Mobachs have been working with a team of staff in a historic building on Kanaalweg, Utrecht. Throughout the century, the method hardly changed. All ceramics are thrown on the wheel or shaped by hand from coils or sheets of clay. The ceramic pieces, such as the bodies of this set, owe their distinctive look to the exclusive glazes, which are composed according to the company’s recipe. Due to the high firing temperature, Mobach ceramics are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
