Copper Metal Enamel Modern Vessels Abstract Design by Harold Tishler 1950s
Located in Miami, FL
Two Modern abstract design small Copper Enamel Vessels by Harold Tishler from the 1950s. One in white enameling in relief over shiny copper background with some gray colored streaks throughout and turquoise glaze inside. Signed inside bottom H. Tishler. The second vessel/cup, was rendered with a thickly applied dark gray enameling fading into a very light gray towards the top on a bright copper background. The inside dark blue enamel. This cup is not signed. Measurements: 2 1/2 inches diameter x 2 3/8 inches high. Condition: The white vase has some gray colored streaks that are intentional.

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.
