Jan van der Vaart, Yellow ceramic vase, multiple, Makkum, 1999

Yellow ceramic multiple vase designed by Jan van der Vaart and executed by Oar Wurk Makkum in 1999. The design of this vase is from 1988. The bottom has a factory stamp. Jan van der Vaart belongs to the first generation of ceramic artists that revived the practice of ceramics in the Netherlands in the 1950s. He introduced a new vision on form and colour based on the Bauhaus tradition. When he gets appointed to head teacher of ceramics on the Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam, his influence on the development of Dutch ceramics is easy to trace. Around fifteen years later his work is internationally acknowledged.
