Joke Stroes Studio Pottery For Mobach40€
MOBACH is the grand family of Dutch ceramics. In one form or another the Mobach family has been involved in ceramics for eight generations. The Mobachs were a family of weavers who suffered greatly during the economic depression of the French occupation of Holland (1795-1813). Jaan Pieter Mobach (1766-1826) was forced to abandon his trade and obtained work with the Kremer family, who produced ceramic pipes and roof tiles, as well as utilitarian kitchenware.
For three generations the Mobachs worked for the Kremer family, rising to the top management. In 1884, Jaan Pieters Mobach (1826-1898) had a falling out with the Kremer family and founded Mobach Pottenbakker in Bolsward. In 1895 the family ceramics business was moved to Utrecht. The eighth generation, Kasper Mobach (b. 1961), continues the family tradition today.
Joke Stroes was born in 1942 in Nieuwegein (NL), she joined Mobach pottery in Utrecht in October of 1966, where she worked as a turner, designer and ceramist. Joke Stroes died on July 4, 2010. Her well known work includes the Celadon collection and also the Rainbow series.
