Small hand crafted vase by Mobach, Netherlands 1960s

About the Item

Small hand turned ceramic vase or container in earth tone colors. It has three globes with the upper globe functioning as a lid. The creator is unknown. But could easily be a design by Piet Knepper. Very decorative and collectible item Glazed in natural earthy colors. Probably a one off piece. Marked underneath with a sticker with number 7015 and the Mobach imprint. Mobach Keramiek is a pottery factory in the Dutch city of Utrecht that was founded at the end of the 19th century. It is best known for the artistic high-quality ceramics it has made since then. The company was founded in 1895 in Utrecht as the Utrechtsche Pottenfabriek by Klaas Jaan Mobach, who comes from a Frisian potter family. Several generations then continued. The process of manufacturing ceramics has remained almost the same over the course of history. The pottery is turned in small series or as a unica or manually constructed from clay rolls or - plates, after which it is glazed. In particular, the man-sized planters and vases are well-known ceramic products from Mobach. Piet Klaarhamer and Gerrit Rietveld designed a number of vases. The factory building dating from 1913 on the Kanaalweg along the Merwedekanaal, together with three accompanying 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. At Oudegracht 198, the Mobach family also ran a store since 1910 where they sold their ceramics. The store was taken over by another owner in 1970 and moved to the Choorstraat in 1975. Under the name Mobach, it was a specialty store in design items that existed there until 2014.
