Dutch sculptor. Between 1895 and 1913 he was the art director of Haagsche Plateelbakkerik
Rozenburg in The Hague. The company started to produce so- called egg-shell porcelain, a type of
extremely light and thin porcelain invented jointly by Kok and the chemist M, N. Engelen. With their
colourful and virtuoso painting and distinctive polygonal mouths, Kok’s vases and vessels of
exclusive design achieved great success at the Paris International Exhibition of 1900.
