Handmade ceramic vase, wheel-thrown in my pottery studio in Belgium. Crafted from durable stoneware and finished by hand, each vase is one of a kind.

Designed as a decorative object as well as a vessel for flowers, its organic shape and subtle variations celebrate the beauty of handmade craftsmanship. Whether styled with fresh blooms, dried stems or displayed on its own, each vase brings a quiet sense of character and warmth to your home.

No two pieces are exactly alike. Small variations in shape, glaze and texture are part of the handmade process and make every vase unique.

The Story Behind Ancient Olive

Part of the Endless Summer Memories collection, this handmade vase is inspired by Mediterranean summers and the ancient olive trees that have stood for generations.

The soft green-grey tones of Ancient Olive recall centuries-old olive groves overlooking the sea. They remind me of ancestors gathering olives by hand, carrying heavy baskets through the groves and bringing the harvest to the mill, where it would be transformed into golden olive oil.

It brings back memories of children running barefoot through the shade, the scent of the sea mixed with freshly cut watermelon, salt drying in your hair after a swim, and hot stone beneath your feet. Simple lunches of fresh bread, pâté and juicy tomatoes sprinkled with sea salt. Sun-warmed cheeks, laughter carried by the wind, and long afternoons that seemed as if they would never end.

These are the memories hidden within Ancient Olive — memories of family, tradition and summers lived outdoors from sunrise until long after sunset.

A piece for your home, filled with stories, tradition and memories that never quite fade.

Part of the Endless Summer Memories collection — a series inspired by Adriatic summers, Mediterranean landscapes and memories that stay with us long after the season ends.
