Vaas van aardewerk met geometrisch versiering c. 1900

This earthenware vase, created by Dutch artist Chris van der Hoef around 1900, showcases a distinctive geometric design. The piece, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is decorated with a combination of brown and yellow glazes, featuring an intricate pattern of stylized leaves. Van der Hoef, a prominent ceramist of his time, was known for incorporating geometric and stylized elements into his work, reflecting the artistic trends of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The vase's simple form and striking decorative motifs make it a compelling example of Dutch pottery from this period.
