The Billy 04 Large Vase features white stoneware construction with a hand-molded body that gives each piece a distinct tactile quality. Horizontal and oblique bands envelop the vessel at regular intervals, combining geometric structure with an organic, sculptural form. Designed by Marie Michielssen for Serax, the surface detailing creates a interplay between linear precision and the natural variation of hand-formed ceramics.
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 large 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.
