Van Hooff Ceramic Vase "Rabu" in Natural Clay, Contemporary African Style Vessel

About the Item

Vase model “Rabu” Manufactured by Willem Van Hooff. Exclusively for SIDE. Netherlands, 2023. Earthenware, glazed. Measurements 39 x 8,5 x 39,5h cm 15,4 x 3,3 x 15,6h in Provenance Holland, Netherlands. Exhibitions Casavells 2023. Concept Inspired by African vessels, Willem immediately noticed their diversity of shapes and techniques, each tribe with their own individual methods and identity. On reflection, the Dutch designer began to borrow from these African tribes, starting his own design process, reinventing the ancient materials. Experimenting with simple architectural techniques, the construction process developed into a horizontal building method, leading to new language of flat ceramic forms. This new language was then translated to the original source of inspiration, “the vase”. A vase has a simple function, to carry. The weight of these vases are important for their balance. The openings are central, allowing the volume to become the counterweight, balancing the vases.

Clyde Burt Ceramic Vessel or Vase
By Clyde Burt
Located in Dallas, TX
Born in Melrose, Ohio in 1922, Clyde Burt would go on to become a major voice in American studio ceramics. He studied at Fort Wayne Art School and later at the Cape Cod School of Art before landing at the Cranbrook Academy of Art to study under Maija Grotell.
