Mid-Cenury Primitivist Marble Vase with Relief Carved Geometric Detailing
Located in New York, NY
This sophisticated Mid Century Modern primitivist vase was realized in France circa 1950. It features a cylindrical body that tapers towards the top with a flared mouth that cantilevers over the body of the piece- in a beautiful white exotic marble. The surface of the vase has been handcarved in relief with a wealth of geometric motifs including stylized celtic knots bookended on top and bottom by deconstructed Greek key motifs. Additionally, there is an arched form with a open circle approaching the top of this piece. With its clean modernist lines, monochromatic palate, and patently (and beautifully) hand crafted aesthetic, this piece would be a winning addition to any style of interior from classic Mid Century to contremporary. While it is a perfectly functional vase...

Antique and Vintage Urns for Sale
Decorative vases and antique and vintage urns are statement objects for the home that can date back centuries. Ranging from pieces with intricate, hand-painted details to more minimal forms with abstract shapes, decorative vases and urns come in a range of styles and sizes.
An urn is a type of vase that typically has a cover, a narrow neck and a round body, sometimes with a footed pedestal. However, when a vessel is called an urn, this often denotes its purpose rather than its origin or shape. One of the urn’s most crucial roles was and remains to be to hold the ashes of people for funerary rites. Another type of urn is adorned with figures that tell a story or show a scene.
Some of the earliest vases were formed from clay or metal-like bronze. Mesopotamians used them not only for decoration but also for storage. In ancient Greece, vases and urns frequently depicted stories from mythology, showing images of the gods and heroes. In ancient Egypt, vases such as the amphora had ceremonial purposes.
Over time, vases grew in popularity among artists as a different kind of canvas for expression. Unlike many of the ancient examples, these vases were not always functional but instead made for a striking addition to one’s decor. Even a plain, solid-colored vase can add color or style to a room. Metal urns are elegant additions to your living room or foyer rather than outside, unless you’re partial to the alluring weathered patina that is expected to characterize an antique cast-iron garden urn.
Every interior designer will tell you that decorative objects are what make a house a home. Decorative objects trumpet the homeowner’s personality while bringing a room to life. For designers, they present an opportunity to express their creative vision.
When looking for a decorative vase, it’s important to note the design and also the size and shape. Decorative vases vary from those with a wide base to those with long slender necks. Browse decorative vases and an extensive ceramic urn collection on 1stDibs.
