Ann Demeulemeester's signature tension – strength meeting fragility – rendered in porcelain. This vessel captures her aesthetic: those spiky, hand-painted lines dissolving into dégradé, dark edges bleeding into cream. It's gothic without the drama, poetic without being precious.

The hand-painted rim traces the edge with precision, creating depth that shifts with the light. Use it as a vase for blooms, a desk cup for pens, a toothbrush holder, a vessel for whatever your day demands. It adapts.

Ann Demeulemeester, founding member of the Antwerp Six, built her reputation on deconstructed silhouettes and an uncompromising vision. After retiring from fashion in 2013, she turned her attention to ceramics and homeware, bringing that same punk-poetic sensibility to objects for daily life.

Ellie ★★★★★

The porcelain feels substantial yet almost fragile in your hands, that tension between strength and delicacy really comes through. The spiky hand-painted lines fade into the dark edges just like the photos, and it looks stunning on my desk catching the afternoon light.

Ava S. ★★★★★

The hand-painted lines are so sharp up close, but they soften into that gray wash exactly like the photos show—it’s a beautiful tension to have on my desk. Even just sitting there catching the light, it makes the whole workspace feel more considered.

Claire V. ★★★★★

The dégradé effect on the edges is even more striking in person, the dark tones bleeding into the porcelain like ink on wet paper. It sits on my desk and feels both delicate and heavy at the same time, which is exactly the tension I was hoping for.
