You might wonder...

Yes, within certain limits. The checkered vases can feature two colors, and personal notes can be added. Additionally, larger vases can be produced to order.

I create a few series per year, sometimes collaborating with other artists to combine talents and approaches. The checkered vases are my 'signature' pieces.

Only food-safe glazes are used at the studio. It's important to follow safety measures in the production process only.

Value in the details

Painting checkers by hand

The vases are crafted using hand-building and molding, and the checkers are hand-painted. The vases undergo a bisque firing process, heated at 950 degrees Celsius, before a transparent glaze is applied by brush, subjected to a second firing at 1220 degrees Celsius. This final step seals the stoneware and melts the glaze, resulting in a beautiful glass-like varnish that enhances the aesthetic appeal and durability of each vase.
