Nienke Sikkema for “hkliving”: Amphora Vase with Gemstones. The Amphora Vase challenges the notion of what a classic glass form should be. Sculpted on a generous scale, its silhouette is interrupted by expressive wings constructed from faceted elements resembling gemstones—functional, yet deliberately exaggerated. The result is a piece that plays with balance and expectation, reflecting both Nienke Sikkema’s intuitive approach to glass and our shared appetite for bold, characterful design. More object than ornament, it invites light, touch, and curiosity in equal measure.
