Korean antique bronze vase/Goryeo period/12th-13th century / Wabi-Sabi Vase

Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba

This is a bronze vase made in Korea during the late Goryeo dynasty (around the 12th–13th century). The Goryeo dynasty was a period in which highly sophisticated craftsmanship developed alongside a flourishing Buddhist culture. During this era, many outstanding works of art were produced, including celadon ceramics and metalwork. This piece is an example of bronze craftsmanship from that time and possesses an elegant form that reflects the refined aesthetic sensibilities of the period. The shape of this vase is known as “Yuhuchun” (玉壺春), a classic bottle form frequently seen in Chinese Song dynasty celadon. The slender neck rises gracefully upward, leading to a gently swelling rounded body, and finally to a small, stable foot. This silhouette creates a beautifully balanced curve throughout the entire form. While Goryeo craftsmanship was influenced by Chinese culture, it also developed its own distinct aesthetic, and this vessel appears to have been created within that cultural context. Around the neck and shoulder are ring-shaped ridges known as “tutdae” (突帯). These raised bands create a subtle rhythm in the form and give visual structure to the vessel. Such decorative ridges are one of the characteristic features seen in Goryeo bronze objects. They function not merely as decoration but also as an important design element that defines and tightens the overall contour of the vessel. Across the surface, a natural patina has formed over the centuries, with areas of green corrosion and soil accretions typical of ancient bronze. The coloration shifts subtly from blue-green to light brown tones. This patina cannot be artificially reproduced; it appears only through the passage of a long period of time. The piece embodies both the rough character typical of excavated artifacts and a quiet beauty, as though it has preserved a fragment of the ancient landscape within its surface. Regarding its condition, because this is an excavated object, corrosion over time has caused a hole to form in the body. Please refer to the detailed photos for confirmation. For this reason, it cannot be used to hold water directly. However, if you wish to arrange flowers, you may place a slender glass container inside the vase and fill that with water. It also works beautifully with dried flowers or branches. The heavy texture of ancient bronze pairs exceptionally well with natural plant materials, making it a striking decorative object within an interior space. This vase also comes with its original storage box. On the lid is an inscription reading “Goryeo Period Bronze Water Vessel...

Mid-Century French Decorative Vase by Albert Thiry (circa 1960s)

By Albert Thiry

Located in London, GB

Mid-century decorative vase by French ceramicist, Albert Thiry (circa 1960s). A gentle, creamy-white glaze encompasses the exterior of the vase topped at the lip by a grassy green with touches of brown. Covering the piece you will find a stunning, large thistle and its foliage. Both visually appealing and tactile, the piece would make an excellent addition to your home or workspace. In very good overall condition. Please enjoy the many photos accompanying this listing. Upon request a video of the piece will be provided. Signed: 'Thiry' on the base. About the Artist: Albert Thiry (1932-2009) was born in Nice, France. His family moved to Vallauris where he spent most of the school holidays in the potteries; in 1956 he was taken on as an assistant decorator with an opportunity to make his own pieces. Albert and his wife, Pyot, set up their own pottery in 1961. Their standard production, in Vallauris clay with added grog to emphasise rusticity, resulted in delightful pieces both highly elaborate and utilitarian. Thiry's reputation continues to grow which is reflected in current auction...

Crystalline Glaze Ceramic Vase, Red and Beige, American Art Studio Pottery

Located in Clifton Springs, NY

The monumental studio pottery ceramic vase is decorated with crystalline glaze in striking, dark red and beige palette. The vase was hand thrown on a wheel; beige color crystals on ombre colored base, shifting from purplish tones on top to deep, dark red on the bottom, were grown in a kiln during a very long, controlled firing. Each crystalline piece is unique due to the nature of the glaze. The vase was allowed to develop an abundance of distinct, graphic crystals, creating a free-flowing abstract pattern and adding rich texture to the minimally shaped piece. The vase was made by Wizards of Clay...

Antique, New and Vintage Vases and Vessels

For thousands of years, vases and vessels have had meaningful functional value in civilizations all over the world. In Ancient Greece, ceramic vessels were used for transporting water and dry goods, holding bouquets of flowers, for storage and more. Outside of utilitarian use, in cities such as Athens, vases were a medium for artistic expressionpottery was a canvas for artists to illustrate their cultures’ unique people, beliefs and more. And pottery skills were handed down from fathers to sons.

Every antique and vintage vase and vessel, from decorative Italian urns to French 19th-century Louis XVI–style lidded vases, carries with it a rich, layered story. 

On 1stDibs, there is a vast array of vases and vessels in a variety of colors, sizes and shapes. Our collection features vessels made from delicate materials such as ceramic and glass as well as durable materials like rustproof metals and stone.

A contemporary vase can help introduce an air of elegance to your minimalist space while an antique Chinese jar would make a luxurious addition to an Asian-inspired interior. Alternatively, if you’re looking for a statement piece, consider an Art Deco vase crafted by Italian architect and furniture designer Gio Ponti.

Vases and vessels — be they handmade pots, handblown glass wine bottles or otherwise — are versatile, practical decorative objects, and no matter your particular design preferences, furniture style or color scheme, they can add beauty and warmth to any home. Find yours on 1stDibs today.
