The Bloom vase was designed for the European Ceramic Work Centre’s project Dutch Souvenirs*. The designers took inspiration from the colours, textures and shapes of various flowers. The design – an amalgam of these different forms – and the porcelain manufacture were realised with the aid of a computer.
*For the Dutch Souvenirs project, Bloom was filled with the old Dutch liqueur Vergeet mij niet, made by Amsterdam’s A. van Wees Distillery de Ooievaar, established in 1782.
