Mint Porcelain Bottle - The Bottle Vase Project was inspired by plastic trash from the river Maas in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Foekje aims to spread awareness of this ever growing problem by creating vases molded after the plastic found.

The plastic bottles found by Foekje are used to create moulds. Pigmented liquid porcelain is poured into the moulds, leaving a thin layer that forms the shape. After drying, the inside of the bottle is glazed lead-free and fired at 1300 ºC. 

The colours of the Bottle Vase Project are all inspired by the colours of the plastic finds, faded by the water and the sun they become very mat pastels. We use pigments that we mix into the clay, instead of coloured glaze (however the inside is glazed translucently to make the vase waterproof). 

Note: due to the handmade nature none of the bottles are exactly the same: small stains and deformations occur and these add to the beauty of the product.
