Marcel Wanders – “Emotion” Bowl for Randstad / Royal Tichelaar Makkum (circa 2004) – No Reserve – in excellent condition A large porcelain art bowl designed by Marcel Wanders, produced by Royal Tichelaar Makkum for Randstad as part of the Emotion project. This exceptional design piece reflects Wanders’ signature mix of surreal imagery, emotion, and craftsmanship. The interior features a poetic composition of musical notes, skaters, and symbolic red brush strokes, combined with a Greek Olympic medal motif – a playful dialogue between culture, sport, and human feeling. The Chinese characters translate to Emotion, giving the piece its title. Each example from this limited corporate edition was handcrafted by Royal Tichelaar Makkum, the oldest ceramics manufacturer in the Netherlands (est. 1572), renowned for its masterful glazes and collaborations with leading Dutch designers. A museum-quality piece of contemporary Dutch design that captures the spirit of the early 2000s creative renaissance led by Wanders and the Droog Design movement.
