The decorative vase combines artistic form with functional design, featuring a feminine silhouette crafted from quality clay. Its transparent matte glaze covers both the interior and base, while subtle decorative elements add visual interest to the surface. The beige finish provides versatile styling options, and the substantial construction ensures lasting durability for both decorative and practical use.
Taken from Marie Michielssen's 'Les Femmes' series for Serax, one of many collection produced in collaboration with the Belgian brand, this vase presents a compelling contrast. Characterized by an intriguing softness, as witnessed in small details such as decorative elements on the figure's clothing and headwear, the feminine form also offers a inherent strength, which Michielssen says runs through the entire collection. The hands and eyes, too, play a central and familiar role in the image of this character, further emphasizing a mood of humanity and kindness. The result is a clay vessel that is equal parts muted and impactful — this large, tall version, 'Les Femmes 01', is presented in beige and has a transparent matte glaze applied to both the interior and base.
