Description

The Walter Wassing vase, standing at 9 cm, epitomizes the charm of Australian studio pottery from the late 20th century. Handcrafted by the renowned Dutch-Australian potter Walter Wassing, this piece showcases a stunning blend of earthy tones and organic forms, capturing the essence of nature in its design. Its unique shape, characterized by smooth curves and a tactile, unglazed surface, makes it not just a vessel for flowers but a striking sculptural element for any decor. The simplicity of its design allows it to seamlessly fit into a variety of settings, whether as part of a contemporary aesthetic or within a more traditional context.

Wassing’s artistry reflects his deep understanding of materials and his innovative approach to pottery. This vase features a classic ikenobo style with three openings, perfect for minimalist floral arrangements, emphasizing the beauty of each stem. Crafted from stoneware, it displays a remarkable durability while retaining an artisanal feel, thanks to the meticulous hand-throwing and finishing techniques employed by Wassing. The vase’s understated elegance is further enhanced by the warm, natural color palette, allowing it to harmonize effortlessly with its surroundings.

As a collectible item, this Walter Wassing vase represents not only the artistic spirit of Australian studio pottery but also the personal touch of its maker. Signed and often accompanied by an impressed mark, these vases hold a special place among enthusiasts of mid-century ceramics. The piece is not just a decorative object; it tells a story of craftsmanship and the cultural exchange between Dutch and Australian pottery traditions, making it a valuable addition to any collection.
