Burn Baby, Burn.... Amphora Copper Reduction 1964



During the early 1960's Rogier Vandeweghe was experimenting a lot with forms and glazes.
This copper reduction glaze is a typical result from those inspiring experiments...
In 1964 Rogier won  the Golden Medal 
in the International Ceramic Competition in Faenza with a copper reduction vase similar to the one above.
The simple curves and the "burned" surface work perfectly together...
Perfect condition, signed twice.
Diameter ca 32 cm

Oswald Tieberghien Ceramics : 1950's Plate


We simply love this Tieberghien plate, no need to explain why...
Early Tieberghien pieces, like this one, are very rare and hard to find...
Hand formed and decorated in the late 50's.
Although he used lots of red and orange glazes during the 60's and 70's, 
purple, lilac and pink are his favourite colors.
