A striking example of Belgian mid-century ceramic artistry, this sculptural bowl by Rogier Vandeweghe. Crafted in the 1960s for the Amphora workshop it embodies the refined modernism and tactile richness that defined postwar European design. Vandeweghe, a key figure in the Flemish studio pottery movement, was known for his bold forms, expressive glazes, and deep engagement with material and surface.
This particular piece features a dramatic oval silhouette, elevated on four rounded feet that lend it a poised, almost architectural stance. The exterior is finished in a matte black glaze, incised with rhythmic geometric patterns, diamond motifs enclosing concentric circles, framed by bands of delicate vertical impressions. The interior bursts with a glossy, saturated red glaze, creating a vivid contrast that heightens the bowl’s sculptural presence.
Stamped “Amphora” on the underside, the bowl reflects the high standards of the Bruges-based workshop founded by Vandeweghe in 1958, where modernist aesthetics met artisanal tradition. Amphora ceramics from this period are celebrated for their purity of line, technical excellence, and quiet drama, qualities that make them highly sought after by collectors and design connoisseurs.
Whether used as a centerpiece, displayed as an object of art, or integrated into a curated collection of European studio ceramics, this bowl offers timeless elegance, historical depth, and a bold visual statement.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition with minor wear consistent with age. No chips or cracks; glaze intact and vibrant.
