About the Item

Jan van der Vaart’s *Schol Vase* (1987), crafted in white-glazed porcelain, exemplifies the artist’s mastery of minimalist and geometric forms. Measuring 24 x 18 x 7 cm, its smooth, curved surfaces and elegant symmetry evoke the shape of a flatfish (schol), the inspiration for its name. The white glaze’s subtle sheen enhances the vase’s purity, emphasizing its interplay of light and shadow. Created in van der Vaart’s Amsterdam studio, this design reflects his Bauhaus-inspired focus on clarity and precision, seamlessly blending functionality with artistic expression. Marked with “87 vdVAART & wiel,” the vase is part of his renowned Multipels series (1967–1997), featured as image 56 in the catalog. This piece is a timeless example of van der Vaart’s ability to transform everyday forms into sculptural art, making it a coveted addition to collections of modern design and 20th-century ceramics.

White Handcrafted Ceramic "Bishop" vase, Italy, Modern
By Sara Khamisi
Located in Milano, IT
The “Bishop Vase" from the "Kish o Mat" collection, designed by the artist Sara Khamisi is inspired by chess characters. Each ceramic in this collection tells a unique story.  The "Bishop vase" features a cylindrical body composed of two slightly offset halves, elegantly referencing the distinctive diagonal movements of the bishop piece on the chessboard. Handcrafted in Milan from slipcast ceramic, the vase has a smooth, matte white finish that enhances its sleek, contemporary aesthetic.
