AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

SET OF 3

1 cube, 1 large sphere, 1 small sphere

These sculptural objects are a vintage ceramic cube and 2 spheres made by the Dutch ceramic atelier Mobach in Utrecht.

Attributed to Piet Knepper, a master ceramicist who worked at Mobach from 1941. Some similar designs are also linked to Tom Bruinsma.

Mid-Century Modern (MCM) or abstract ceramic art from the 1960s to the 1980s.

These objects are known for their crack- or crater-like shapes: irregular openings in the clay that reveal a contrasting dark or metallic glaze on the inside.
Authentic pieces typically bear the Mobach stamp and often the handwritten initials or signature of the maker on the underside.
