Description from the seller
Art Deco Pair of Amphora Holland Vases by Chris van der Hoef, circa 1918–1925
Exceptional scarce early Art Deco art pottery vase produced by Amphora Holland, designed by C.J. van der Hoef, one of the leading figures in Dutch decorative arts of the early 20th century.
The vase features a beautifully balanced, elongated form combined with restrained cobalt-blue linear decoration, characteristic of Van der Hoef’s architectonic and graphic design language.
The hand-painted decoration and the harmonious proportions reflect the high artistic ambitions of Dutch ceramic production during the interwar period. Amphora Holland pieces decorated by Van der Hoef are increasingly sought after by collectors of Dutch Art Deco and modernist applied arts.
The vase is hand-marked:
Amphora Holland
Number 136-3
Ontw. C.J. v.d. Hoef (Christiaan Johannes -Chris- van der Hoef)
This complete and legible marking securely confirms authorship, factory, and period.
Period:
Early Art Deco, circa 1918–1925
Dimensions (each vase):
20 × 7.5 × 7.5 cm (h × w × d)
Condition:
In excellent condition
No chips or restorations.
Amphora Holland was among the most important Dutch ceramic manufacturers of the early 20th century, producing high-quality decorative objects influenced by Jugendstil and evolving Art Deco ideals. Designer Chris van der Hoef played a key role in defining this transition, creating works that combined craftsmanship with modern design principles. His designs are represented in museum collections and are increasingly sought after by collectors of early Art Deco and Amsterdam School ceramics.
A rare and highly decorative matching Art Deco pair, ideal for collectors of Dutch ceramics or as a striking flanking display. Museum-quality design, strong provenance, and timeless visual impact.
Professionally packed and shipped with full insurance.
