Rayan is a hand-thrown stoneware vase with a full, slightly bulbous silhouette that tapers to a modest foot and opens to a broad, gently flared, bronze rim. His surface is finished in a high-gloss, tenmoku-style tortoiseshell glaze: deep, near-black brown fields layered with warm, amber-brown spotting and subtle metallic sheens where the glaze pooled. The dramatic, variegated finish reads both rustic and sophisticated-a bold, tactile statement piece that evokes traditional East Asian wares while retaining a contemporary presence.

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.
