This handmade ceramic pot by Jan Deceuninck is a tranquil and honest object, crafted with attention to form and material. The light beige glaze is subtly interspersed with soft light blue flecks, giving the surface a vibrant yet understated appearance. Not a sleekly finished object, but a pot with character, where the craftsmanship remains visible.
Jan Deceuninck works for a social institution where people are given the opportunity to develop their creativity in the ceramics studio . In this environment, objects are created based on time, attention, and process—values clearly tangible in this work.
The shape is simple and balanced, with a low, open bowl that invites use or simply viewing. The glaze exhibits natural shading and small irregularities inherent in the ceramic process. The pot is signed on the bottom by the maker. It is in good condition.
Measuring 16.5 x 16.5 x 5 cm, this ceramic piece fits effortlessly into a variety of interiors. It feels at home among old and new objects, on a table, sideboard, or open shelf. It's not a flashy statement piece, but a quiet presence that softens and deepens a space.
At The Garden of the Arts, we're looking for precisely these kinds of objects: affordable art and authentic décor that blend harmoniously with the interior. Pieces with soul, that don't scream for attention but slowly take their place. This ceramic pot fits that bill perfectly—understated, warm, and timeless.
