Modernist Vase by Jaap Dommisse
An exceptional unica vase by renowned Dutch ceramicist Jaap Dommisse (1929-1984), circa 1960s. This rare piece is crafted from a specialized clay that combines manganese and rough ceramic particles (chamotte), fired at high temperatures to create its distinctive reddish-brown, durable texture. The vase is adorned with abstract patterns finished in a sophisticated matte black sandy glaze, reflecting Dommisse’s signature painterly style and the influence of the Post-War avant-garde movement. As an independent studio artist, Dommisse’s pieces are particularly scarce and sought-after for their masterful interplay of pattern, form, and glaze.
