Billy 04 Small Vase - White, Stoneware

The Billy 04 Small Vase offers white stoneware construction with a hand-molded body that lends each piece subtle organic variation. A series of oblique and horizontal bands wrap the vessel at regular intervals, balancing geometric definition with a tactile, sculptural quality. Designed by Marie Michielssen for Serax, the compact form retains the same interplay of linear patterning and hand-formed character as the larger version in the Billy collection.

The 'Billy' vase collection is the vision of Serax designer Marie Michielssen and the result of a creative process that was a long time in the making. Following the release of a series of ceramic collections for the Belgian design brand, Michielssen created 'Billy' — a family of white stoneware vases united by a thread of oblique and horizontal lines that are combined with a hand-molded body and a distinct geometric quality. This small version of the 'Billy 04' vase stands out for its sculptural elegance, with a series of bands enveloping the core of the vessel at regular intervals for a vase that is equal parts playful and elegant, as well as being emblematic of Michielssen's approach.
