About the Item
Product description
This ceramic vase was made by Joke Stroes, a Dutch ceramicist working for Mobach (Utrecht) in after 1966. In the beginning of her career Joke worked for Westraven as well as the lesser known HAWECO studio in Zeist. The piece reflects the characteristic Mobach studio aesthetic: solid, balanced form combined with expressive, kiln-driven glazing.
The vase has a compact, rounded body with a short cylindrical neck. It is finished in a soft grey glaze with rich brown iron-oxide runs, creating vertical flow patterns. These glaze movements are kiln-related and intentional, aligning with Mobach's post-war emphasis on material honesty, gravity, and controlled chance.
The base is signed, confirming Joke Stroes as the artist.
Condition
Very good condition. No cracks or restorations. The glaze shows natural flow variations inherent to the firing process.

Dutch modern studio pottery (organic modernism)

Mobach
Since the establishment, five generations of Mobachs have been working with a team of staff in a historic building on Kanaalweg, Utrecht. Throughout the century, the method hardly changed. All ceramics are thrown on the wheel or shaped by hand from coils or sheets of clay. The ceramic pieces, such as the bodies of this set, owe their distinctive look to the exclusive glazes, which are composed according to the company’s recipe. Due to the high firing temperature, Mobach ceramics are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
