After the Second World War, the German-English ceramist Hans Coper enriched the ceramic vocabulary by constructing vases from clearly recognisable twisted and misshapen parts. Each new model was repeated with small variations. In this way, families of related objects arose, which could be presented as groups. Coper is considered one of the most important ceramists of the 20th century. The museum owns more than 25 pieces produced by him.
