Souvenir vases
From left-over to statement piece.
Souvenir Holland
The Souvenir vases are covered in typical Dutch trinkets from Thailand. Boxes of these ceramics miniatures had been lying in a Thai workshop, waiting to be exported after sales suddenly went flat years ago. They’ve got a new lease on life as part of these Wonderable vases. Transformed into unique objects, they’re now fit to be displayed in the choicest spot in the house.
Thai signature
Each vessel is unique, thanks to the ever-changing selection of miniatures, and numbered with a hand-painted ceramic disc. The Thai makers sign and date each Souvenir vase inside the rim, in their own Thai script. This keeps most people wondering what is written and thus illustrates the journey of the vase. And of “typically Dutch” Delftware.
Souvenir ZOO
