This online shop has no checkout, shopping trolleys or baskets. My selling system is small and simple.
1) If you want to buy a vase or a bowl, you simply let me know by a order-message from the site. You can also just send me an email yourself and write your wish. Maybe you want to see some more hi-ress pictures before you buy?
2) As soon as your message of interest comes in, I put a reservation on the work with your (first) name on it. And I reply to you with the instructions on how to pay, which is by bank-transfer-request thingy.
3) You then have 10 days to pay. Or not, if you change your mind.
4) When your payment is in, I ship your purchase straight away. Simple huh? It works for me and my customers so far.
I try to send out through the cheapest delivery-service, which is never UPS or DHL, but regular mail, often with a signature upon delivery. Costs of delivery are mostely 15 euros within Europe and about 25 euros Worldwide. Large objects are obviousely more expensive. I'll specify your specific shipping costs in our first email to you.
I will personally drop off your purchase by bike if you live in or are visting Amsterdam. Or if you pay me a ticket to anywhere in the world, I'll drop by. You can pay by card at the door.
Most prefered by me and most people is when you pick it up. You can pay by card at the studio. The card-thingy takes VISA, MAESTRO, MasterCard, American Express, Diners Club, Union and ofcourse Google and Apple Pay.
Now sending ceramics isn't easy, but I have found a pretty safe way of packing.
The product is first wrapped in protective paper and then double wrapped in bubble-wrap (recycle stuff).
Then a solid, taped up hard cardboard box goes around it. Sometimes I use a wood frame.
Then it goes into a big shipping box with those foam chips (all recycled)
If your purchase arrives looking like it’s had a rough day, let me know right away by email. Just send some photos of the damage and the packaging, so I can shake my fist at the delivery service and get things sorted. You can choose to get your money back or a ‘new one’—though remember, no two pieces are exactly alike! I wrap everything with extreme care, but hey, accidents happen. So far, shipping has been smooth—fingers crossed it stays that way!
Here’s the obligatory legal mumbo jumbo: The 'stats' (measurements) on this site are approximate, just like availability, prices, descriptions, shipping costs, and anything else that might change because, well, life happens. If you feel like you need to take legal action, please drop me a note first—I’m just trying to keep things real, but I’m only human! I promise to keep your information safe and sound, and I won’t spam you—just an occasional email when I’ve added new goodies to the shop. All prices include 21% VAT ('inclusief 21% BTW' in Dutch). If you need a specified invoice as a business, I’ll need your international tax number. Should you have an accident leaving the shop I will make you a new piece. Even after a few weeks..
I am an artisan potter based in Amsterdam. I create ceramic pieces I love and share them with you. I focus on making vases, bowls, and pots. If you’d like something custom-made, just ask—I can craft one especially for you or your loved ones (dead or alive). My work is sometimes dark and quirky, even wonky if that’s your style. I’m not overly concerned with traditional perfection.
I strive to create useful and beautiful pieces. Even without flowers, brushes, or branches, my vases can stand alone as beautiful objects. They are tough—but please, don’t throw them at people. All of my shapes and glazes are homebrewed, made right here in what I call Mokum.
Really, what more do you need to know? Drop me a note to share your thoughts, ask a question, place an order, or anything else you might need.
