Linck Keramik Ceramic Vase

Linck Keramik’s glazed creations are a manifestation of late ceramicist Margrit Linck’s singular vision – to produce bold, directional pieces that can bridge the past and present. This vase stays loyal to her original 1960s design, still produced on a potter’s wheel at the studio in Bern. Its integrity lies in the subtle imperfections that give the admirer clues of its handcrafted provenance, and it’s finished with a glossy glaze of pure white – the only colour Margrit would create in.

While growing up in 1930s Heimberg, Switzerland, Margrit Linck learned the craft of ceramics and developed a vision for unfussy pieces that could bridge both past and present. Later, stints in Berlin and Paris saw her rub shoulders with the doyens of the young, European art set, like Picasso, Giacometti and Braque, and helped her refine her aesthetic. An obsession with form as the pinnacle of purity led Margrit to eventually create only in white – no colour to distract from the clay’s sharp lines and curvatures. Margrit’s daughter-in-law continued her work after her death, and today, Linck Keramik is in its third generation under Annet Berger – the studio still in the original Bern location and accessories like vases and tableware still formed using a traditional wheel.
