Vik is proud to present his Centennial Edition Jazz Series. The re-release of these Art Deco icons coincides with the 75^th anniversary of the opening of the series and celebrates Vik’s 100^th birthday. The Centennial Edition will be opened with perhaps the most widely-known Jazz Bowls: the parabolic New Yorker.

Artist Heather McClellan is leading a team in handcrafting 100 Limited Edition sets using Vik’s original techniques and iconography; she is working in conjunction with the Cleveland Institute of Art, where Vik was a professor for over 60 years. He has supervised much of the work personally, visiting the studio to fine-tune the process and critiquing the scratch work of individual bowls to ensure they are faithful to his concepts—in some cases varying from any known versions of the designs.
