Round Vase, Mobach, Utrecht

Klaas Jan Mobach founded Mobach Keramiek in 1895, establishing a family-run ceramic workshop in Utrecht, Netherlands, that still exists today. Originally known as the Utrechtse Pottenfabriek, Mobach Keramiek has become renowned for its handcrafted vases and pots, distinguished by their innovative designs, exceptional quality, and blend of traditional techniques with modern influences. Ceramic vase no. 695 is a notable example of Mobach Keramiek’s craftsmanship. Designed by Klaas Jan Mobach in the 1920s, this piece embodies the geometric shapes, bold lines, and contrasting colours that define the Art Deco style of the era. The vase is entirely hand-thrown and hand-finished. The vase bears the model number 695 and has “Mobach Utrecht” engraved on its base, confirming its authenticity and origin. The piece is in very good condition.
