A handmade porcelain vase – limited edition of 100, from the “10000 Drops” collection by Studio Joachim-Morineau. Each vase receives its own unique dripping programme written specifically for it. Each vase is really unique!
You can indicate a style preference, but each vase carries an element of randomness – intentionally so. The intensity of the blue and the height of the pattern vary from piece to piece.

This handmade porcelain vase is part of the “10000 Drops” collection – a limited edition of only 100 unique pieces. Each vase receives its own dripping programme, written specifically for it using our MOCA machine. This means no two vases are ever the same. Each vase is numbered in the neck and stamped by Studio Joachim-Morineau. With around 50 pieces still available, this is a chance to own something truly unique.
Unlike our plates, mugs and bowls – where you choose a pattern – each vase from the 10000 Drops collection is entirely individual. We write a specific dripping programme for each piece. You can tell us the style you prefer, but there is an element of randomness in the dripping – and that is intentional. The intensity of the blue, the height of the pattern and the distribution of the drops are different for every vase. You receive a genuine pièce unique.

First, we pour liquid porcelain into the vase mould. The plaster absorbs the water from the porcelain, creating a thickened layer against the mould. After 30 to 40 minutes, we remove the excess liquid porcelain and leave the vase to dry before stamping “Studio Joachim-Morineau” and its series number in the neck. The next day, we clean the edges and surface of the fully dried vase. We then carry out a first firing at low temperature (around 1020 °C). Next comes the unique pattern: we apply blue glaze to the vase using the programme written specifically for this piece. Then, a second food-safe transparent glaze is added inside for waterproofing. Finally, we carry out a second firing at higher temperature (around 1240 °C). The vase is then dispatched.
This process was born from our graduation project at the Design Academy Eindhoven. The process was featured in Dezeen. The 10000 Drops vases were first presented at Dutch Design Week 2023 in Eindhoven.
We pack each vase with the utmost care in tissue paper, bubble wrap and solid protective packaging. All orders are insured against transit damage – if something arrives broken, we send a replacement immediately. Free shipping across Europe on orders over € 90. In accordance with European consumer law, we accept returns within 14 days of receipt.

How many pieces exist in this edition?
The collection is limited to 100 pieces, each individually numbered. Around 50 are still available. We have some vases already in stock, but we also produce to order.
Can I choose the pattern of my vase?
You can tell us the style you prefer, but there is an element of randomness in the dripping – and that is intentional. We write a unique dripping programme for each vase. You receive a genuinely unique piece made specifically for you.
Is the vase watertight?
Yes, the vase is watertight and can be used as a flower vase with water.
Where is the vase made?
Each vase is handmade in our ceramics workshop in Eindhoven (Netherlands) by Studio Joachim-Morineau, using our MOCA dripping machine.
What is the lead time?
Each vase is made to order. We will contact you after your order to confirm the estimated delivery time. We generally have vases that are already fired, so we just need to apply the pattern. This takes less than a week including firing.
