The elegant shape of the vase, with its rounded body, slender neck and flared rim, emphasizes mastery. The dripping glaze, a hallmark of his work, adds a unique, handcrafted quality that feels both natural and intentional.
A true example of Art Deco design, this vase combines a bold shape with artistic details, making it a striking piece that embodies the signature style and timeless craftsmanship.
With its modern shape and its raw mineral colour, this ceramic will fit perfectly into a natural, refined and delicate decoration. We can easily imagine it placed on a shelf or a piece of furniture, decorated with a few dried flowers or in a beautiful collection with other antique or vintage vases.

BOUFFIOULX STONEWARE
Grès de Bouffioulx is a type of traditional pottery originating from Bouffioulx, a town in the Charleroi region of Belgium. It is known for its high-quality ceramics and is often associated with rustic, handmade pottery that has been produced for centuries.
The pottery is made from local clays, which are particularly suitable for producing durable and aesthetically pleasing stoneware. Grès de Bouffioulx is often glazed and is recognisable by its earthy tones and traditional shapes, such as jugs, pots and decorative objects. Historically, these objects were used for practical purposes, such as storing food, water or alcohol, but today they are also appreciated as artistic or decorative pieces.
The craft is still kept alive by a few pottery workshops in Bouffioulx, where craftsmen work in a traditional way, often with wood-fired ovens. If you are interested in ceramics or Belgian culture, a visit to a pottery in Bouffioulx is definitely worth it!
