Gijs is a small, hand-thrown stoneware bowl with gently rounded walls and a modest foot. His interior and exterior are glazed in a high-gloss, tenmoku-style finish patterned with dense, warm amber-brown speckles that read like clustered dots against a deep, near-black field-an effect reminiscent of traditional Japanese dotted glazes. Gijs feels both rustic and refined-ideal for tea, small servings, or as an elegant decorative accent.

glazes: dotted red on brown on the inside and dotted red on brown 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.
