Ducy Vase S in Casted Brass

The Ducy Vase S represents a masterclass in contemporary metalwork and sculptural form. Designed by Michael Verheyden, this piece exemplifies the intersection of craft tradition and modern design philosophy. Handcasted in brass, the vase showcases the inherent qualities of the material—its warm patina, structural integrity, and ability to develop character over time. The casting process allows for organic surface variations and subtle imperfections that distinguish each piece as individually crafted rather than mass-produced. The compact S size makes it ideal for intimate spaces, functioning equally well as a functional vessel or as a sculptural object worthy of display on its own. Its proportions encourage close observation, revealing the nuanced details of Verheyden's design intent and the craftsperson's hand in its creation. This vase bridges the gap between utilitarian ceramics and fine art, inviting viewers to reconsider the role of everyday objects in interior spaces. It's a piece that rewards sustained attention and becomes a conversation starter about materiality, form, and the value of handmade design in contemporary collecting.
