Hella Jongerius - Thomas Eyck - Tableware (20) - B-set

The B-set is a 7-piece service, designed in 1997 by Hella Jongerius. By baking the clay at too high a temperature, each element deforms slightly. The imperfect dinnerware is one of the first designs in which individuality is created within serial production, an important theme in the work of Jongerius. This lot consists of: 4 small beakers, Ø 7 x 6 cm 4 large beakers, Ø 7 x 11 cm 4 small plates, Ø 20 x 2 cm 4 large plates, Ø 25 x 2 cm 2 small bowls, Ø 13 x 9 cm 1 large bowls, Ø 20 x 12 cm 1 carafe/ vase, Ø 12 x 25 cm. Today the B-set 405W #451 is seen as an icon in Dutch design history and is adopted in a large number of international museums like the Stedelijk Museum 's-Hertogenbosch, Centraal Museum Utrecht, Zuiderzee Museum Enkhuizen. Clarification of the marks in the objects: 405W = recipe of the porcelain; 451 = recipe of the glaze; HJ = Hella Jongerius.
