Jaap Ravelli was born in 1916 in Princenhage (NL). He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in The Hague. In 1947 he founded Potterie Ravelli in Valkenburg (ZH). In the beginning the potterie made simple utensils such as vases and tableware. In the fifties the black and white plastics with a mostly African theme and in the sixties the famous birch bark vases and pots. In the latter years, the factory produced vases and pots in modern colors including orange and blue.
After the closure of the Potterie in 1977, Jaap Ravelli continued to make unique pieces that he fired in a small kiln. Jaap Ravelli passed away April 1, 2011.
