Oil jars
2020Oil jars are my smallest work, but are not inferior to the larger pieces. There are 2 versions with a bird or with a dog. Both with a hat with a dash of gold leaf. The shape is after an old oil jar and they are on wheels. complete with a good dose of industrial and vintage look finished with a spark plug.
There we go
2020A typical van der Zeeuw. Everything is there, wheels rough skin parts in the form of a valve cover of an Opel from 1965. Narrow and therefore quickly the crow as a passenger who pushes the throttle completely. With a little imagination you can see him racing past. Everything made of clay again, including the wheels. This piece with an industrial look fits into any environment.
There we go small
2020There we go, is a smaller version of its big brother. see text there we go.
T-time
2020T-time2 is a smaller version. A teapot on wheels with a motor how do you make it up I often hear! Well in 5 minutes ……… .. but then it still has to be made. The entire teapot has an adapted engine block, oil pipes, wheels, tap and the spout flows into a bird's head. A real eye catcher that immediately puts a smile on everyone's face.
Drag Star
2016Dragstar is a rugged-looking racecar. Various parts make it a very surprising piece. Every viewer has the right kite effect. Many gears, bolts, nuts make it a rugged machine. The rider is a dog with a helmet on.
The bathtub
2016The bathtub is a piece full of humor. Two crows sitting in a bath driven by a motor on the back. The crows racing by with goggles and swimming cap on !!! Everything made of ceramic.
T-time
2016T-time is made in the form of a very large water kettle. At the top, the king sits proudly with a rod in the shape of a bird's head. On the back a big motor block, Attached to a propeller. Large wheels to balance the piece. The vintage look makes him old and used. Behind him drive his subjects in matching mugs.

New ears vor van Gogh
20152015 is the year that Van Gogh died 125 years ago. This is the work I made. It’s a machine with on the front his head. Behind his head is a dish that goes down and puts an ear on the conveyor belt. On the belt are even more ears, this walk to the back where they fall into a different container. The whole is again a real van der Zeeuw. Including motor, gears etc. everything made of ceramic
Nautilus
2015
Nautilus is entirely made of ceramic.
Where you think it is iron, it has proved to be all made of clay.
The piece is reminiscent of Jule Verne. A fish with a engine block, countless nuts and bolts. in its tail are several gears processed.
It just seems as if he can drive off. Fired in a gas kiln with strong reduction.
Trojan
2014Box shape made of fired clay. The overall impression is a war chariot. The manganese-rich clay wheels give the piece movement. Steering is by means of the rudder. The name Trojan comes from the three horses.
Women on a Mission
2014The chassis of the car is constructed whit rods. Gears and other components underneth turn this into a highly piece. The white porcelain wheels guarantee movement. The women passengers come frome a foreign culture and their transport is dependent on teamwork. A strong element of humour makes it complete.
Who Let The Dog Out
2013
Who Let The Dog Out. This dog blows very hard over into his new rocket mobile!
Which in turn completely iron seems, is really made of clay.
