Keramiker Inge Vincents
All the porcelain vases and cups sold in this store are white and strictly made by hand, which means no two are the same. Their creator is Inge Vincents, who makes all her products in her workshop, located on the same premises as the store. In her work, Vincents seeks shapes that are organic yet firm. They arise from continual experimentation and playing with materials. The result is vases with shapes reminiscent of paper bags, and cups that appear twisted.
