Hugo is a hand-thrown black stoneware vase with a tall, slightly tapered classic profile that narrows at the foot and opens to a gently flared neck. The surface wears a green ash glaze that graduates from muted celadon near the shoulder into a soft, satin-matte grey-brown toward the base; fine, salt-like speckling and subtle crazing create a quietly textured, weathered surface. Where the ash pooled a darker, iron-rich band and faint metallic sheens appear, adding depth and visual contrast. Hugo is an eyecatcher, with his oh so beautiful skin.
clay: black stoneware
glazes: glossy transparant on the inside and metallic green ash on the outside.

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.
