Cilindervormige vaas met gestileerde liervogels in wit en blauw op geelbruine fond 1902

This cylindrical vase, designed by Chris van der Hoef in 1902, features a striking geometric pattern in shades of blue and white against a yellow-brown background. The stylized lyre birds, a recurring motif in van der Hoef's work, are rendered in a simplified, almost abstract style. The vase's elegant form and intricate decoration exemplifies the Arts and Crafts movement's emphasis on craftsmanship and natural motifs. The piece, currently held at the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of Dutch ceramics from the early 20th century.
