This ceramic wall decoration was designed by Joop Puntman for AMHA (Ambacht Haalderen) in the Netherlands, dating from the 1950s/60s. The piece features two stylized flying geese, set in a dynamic, overlapping composition. Earthy tones of warm browns and ochres dominate, contrasted by graphic accents of black, white, and muted red on the birds' eyes and beaks. The surface has a matte, slightly rough texture, with hand-applied incised lines highlighting the feathers and geometric, almost abstract patterns on the wings. The overall design is rooted in mid-century modern aesthetics, with simplified forms and bold, graphic contours. The decoration is preserved in very good condition, with no visible cracks, chips, or signs of repair.The form of this piece echoes the spirit of modernist Holland in the 1950s: bold but measured stylization, where the birds seem to narrate a story of freedom and movement. Joop Puntman's characteristic economy of means and geometric reduction give the composition an almost symbolic rhythm. The matte ceramic surface and strong outlines convey a sense of tranquility, set against the energy of captured flight—as if the object carries the voice of an era marked by optimism and artistic exploration.This decoration can be displayed against a light-colored wall in a living room or hallway, where the earthy ceramic tones will draw out the depth of surrounding hues. It would pair well with minimalist wooden furniture or metal accents to maintain a modernist interior character. Ideally suited for mid-century modern arrangements, the piece will find its place among simple forms and neutral textiles, allowing it to take center stage. It may also be combined with other wall art featuring geometric or graphic motifs to create a balanced, collector's display.
