Modus vivendi bowls by Pieter Stockmans
Admire the primitive unglazed outside and the beautiful shiny inside of the unique handicraft porcelain bowls of Pieter Stockmans.
They are produced according to traditional methods in his own studio in Belgium in little series. To develop new products Pieter Stockmans starts from the raw material, porcelain. He has specialized in making very thin, transparent products. Herewith he becomes a unique result. Together with his daughter he explores the limits of the material porcelain.

HOW NICE IT IS TO BE CREATIVE
How nice it is to be creative
with a simple material such as clay
I have done it my whole life
and still have new ideas
How wonderful to express myself
every day
with this white gold
as porcelain is called
Always
in the same philosophy
of tactility and vulnerability
and my own harmony
