About the Item

A sculptural turquoise glazed ceramic vase by Belgian ceramicist Alexandre de Wemmel, created in Belgium during the mid-20th century. Executed in glazed terracotta, the elegant urn-shaped body is finished in a vibrant turquoise glaze and crowned by a distinctive hand-modelled spiral coil in white, creating a striking interplay between bold geometry and fluid organic form. The vase's harmonious proportions are enhanced by its restrained silhouette, allowing the sculptural rim to become the focal point. The thick white coil appears almost soft and pliable despite its ceramic construction, demonstrating the exceptional craftsmanship required to manipulate clay into such a refined and seemingly effortless decorative element. The contrast between the lustrous turquoise glaze and the subtly marbled white decoration lends the piece a strong architectural presence while retaining an expressive, handmade character. Alexandre de Wemmel is recognised for his distinctive approach to Belgian studio ceramics, blending the elegance of Art Deco-inspired forms with the expressive qualities of post-war artistic pottery. His work often explores sculptural silhouettes, vibrant monochromatic glazes and inventive applied decoration, balancing disciplined design with an evident appreciation for hand-crafted individuality. Stamped and signed to the underside. Presented in very good vintage condition with no chips or damage. The glaze retains its original depth of colour and high lustre.

Turquoise Glass Squat Bottle Vase in Mdina ‘Ming’ Pattern, Signed 1979, Malta

Turquoise Glass Squat Bottle Vase in Mdina ‘Ming’ Pattern, Signed 1979, Malta

Turquoise Glass Squat Bottle Vase in Mdina ‘Ming’ Pattern, Signed 1979, Malta

By Mdina, Michael Harris

Located in Glasgow, GB

A rare signed Mdina Glass vase from Malta, dated 1979, exemplifying the studio’s bold aesthetic during its formative years. This decorative squat bottle vase is worked in the celebrated ‘Ming’ pattern, with swirling bands of turquoise blue and deep green glass layered over a base of sparkling golden ochre. The colours twist upward in irregular spirals around the rotund body, forming a richly tactile surface that captures the light beautifully. This form—low, broad, and full-bodied—is less commonly encountered, particularly in this scale. Measuring 16.5 cm in both height and diameter, it’s a commanding example of vintage Mdina glass...
