Gemstone Amfora Vase Crystal by Nienke Sikkema

The Amfora Vase is a contemporary handblown glass vase created in collaboration with Dutch glass artist Nienke Sikkema. Inspired by the proportions of classical amphora vessels, the form is reimagined through sculptural geometry and oversized faceted handles that resemble cut gemstones. The result is a functional object that sits comfortably between contemporary art, collectible design, and decorative glass.

Its generous scale, weight, and translucent color allow the vase to interact with changing light throughout the day. Whether displayed with flowers or as a standalone object, the Amfora Vase brings a strong architectural presence to an interior.

The collaboration of HKLIVING with Nienke Sikkema grew from a shared appreciation for expressive form and the unpredictable nature of molten glass. Each piece reflects the precision of traditional glassblowing while embracing the subtle variations that make handmade glass unique. Rather than pursuing perfect symmetry, the design celebrates character, movement, and the material itself.

The Amfora Vase is part of a collection of collectible glass objects designed by Nienke Sikkema and available through Amstel Gallery, where contemporary art and collectible design meet.
