"The Souvenir" vases by Wonderable

Carla Peters, Netherland Designer with her collection Wonderable, combines the clear lines of western design tradition with age-old craft techniques from faraway lands. In these vases titled, "The Souvenir," she showcases typical Dutch trinkets from Thailand. Boxes of these ceramics miniatures had been lying in a Thai workshop, waiting to be exported to the Netherlands after sales suddenly went flat years ago. Now they’re getting a new lease on life as part of these Wonderable vases. 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 before sending the miniatures off to the Netherlands. Check out the miniature designs in the gallery below.
