Porcelain Bottle Vase #2 Mint
18,5 x 7 x 7 cm €23,10
Bottle vases are inspired by a collection of plastic trash from the river Maas in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
After reading about plastic soup, Foekje Fleur started looking more carefully at the river running through her home town and found plastic waste that had been accumulating there since the 1960s.
By creating durable porcelain copies of the material she finds, Foekje Fleur is spreading awareness of this growing problem.
The outside of the stained porcelain is biscuit which gives a mat finish similar to plastic.
The inside of the bottle is glazed to make it waterproof and suitable as a vase or container.
This vase is hand made by Middle Kingdom Porcelain in Jingdezhen.
The plastic bottles are used to create moulds. Pigmented liquid porcelain is poured into the moulds, leaving a thin layer that forms the shape.
All this handwork is done by a team of seven craftsmen, therefore none of the bottles is exactly the same.
