By Seguso

Located in Villaverla, IT

Pair of monumental Italian Murano glass presentation urn vases crafted during the nineteen seventies showcases classical antiquity and archaeological revival design by renowned furnace Seguso Vetri d'Arte. Handcrafted in Italy, each matching standing vessel features a wide, amphora-form glass body with a rounded conical lower bowl, broad swelling shoulders, and a wide-mouth aperture framed by an everted disc rim. Each vase is suspended within a custom-fitted tripod tripod base of verdigris-patinated wrought bronze or brass with scroll-footed cabriole legs, evoking ancient Greco-Roman ceremonial cauldrons and brazier urns. Master glassmakers at Seguso mouth-blew and assembled each glass body freehand at the furnace (a mano volante), executing the vessels in an opaque, frost-white textured glass finish reminiscent of the firm's celebrated scavo or heavy acid-etched corroso treatments. Applied around the upper perimeter are looped green glass ribbon handles and decorative hanging strap appliques (applicazioni a caldo) displaying an oxidized jade-green coloration that echoes the weathered verdigris bronze mounts below. The matte crystalline surface gently diffuses ambient lighting, casting soft ethereal glows, muted specular highlights, and bold architectural shadows across display consoles and adjacent walls.

Dimensional 1930's French Art Deco Frosted Geometric Glass Vase attrib to Vianne

Located in Red Lion, PA

This exceptional piece is a definitive example of 1930s French Art Deco "Boule" or ball-form glass, a style that perfectly captures the high-energy, avant-garde spirit of the Jazz Age. As designers transitioned away from the soft, flowing curves of the Art Nouveau period, they began to embrace a more disciplined "Machine Age" aesthetic. You can see that shift here in the bold, architectural precision of the vessel. Crafted from thick, high-quality molded glass, the vase consists of softly frosted glass that gives it a sophisticated, satin-matte finish. This specific surface treatment is essential to the design; it catches and diffuses light in a way that creates deep, dramatic shadows and highlights across the intricate relief patterns, making the geometry feel incredibly tactile. The design itself is a sophisticated exploration of cubist-inspired forms. It features a complex, highly dimensional landscape of interlocking motifs, including sharp vertical lines, layered angular squares and rectangles, and perfectly symmetrical stacked circles. This rhythmic pattern covers the entire spherical body, leading up to a classic flared upper lip and resting on a stable, flat base. This silhouette would have served as a striking centerpiece in a stylish Parisian salon during the interwar years and remains just as impactful in a modern interior today. While the vase is unsigned, its specific molded technique and decorative language are strongly attributed to the renowned Vianne glassworks, or Verreries de Vianne...

Carl Erickson Sommerso Vase, American Art Studio Glass 1940s-1950s

Carl Erickson Sommerso Vase, American Art Studio Glass 1940s-1950s

Located in Clifton Springs, NY

Sculptural Mid Century Modern teal and clear glass decorative vase was created by Carl Erickson for Erickson Glass Works. The vase has Erickson's typical heavy encased glass design, with the teal glass gather encased in clear glass in sommerso technique and the pronounced base done in clear glass with controlled bubbles. The pontil is ground. The vase is in good vintage condition with some age-appropriate signs of wear on the bottom. It is unsigned, as vast majority of Ericson piece were, and is missing its sticker, but can be clearly identified by multiple printed and online catalogues and other resources. Carl Erickson (1899-1966) worked at Pairpoint Manufacturing Company, joining his father as an apprentice and spending the next 20 years developing a high level of craftsmanship, including precision use of controlled bubbles, a technique often associated with Pairpoint, that was widely used by Erickson in his own glass designs. In the early 1930s he was employed by Libbey Glass and from 1937 - by the Blenko Glass Company. After leaving Blenko, Carl founded his own art glass studio in Bremen, Ohio in 1943. Erickson glass was hand blown, so no two pieces could be identical. Erickson made reproductions for a number of museums, including the Smithsonian Institution of Washington, D.C., Old Sturbridge Museum, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Corning Museum of Glass, and the Ohio State Historical Society Museum. Many of his glass creations have been selected for display at several distinguished museums, and in 1953 a traveling...

Jasba Aztec Exotica Set of 3 Vases, West German Pottery 1960s

By Jasba Keramik, West German Pottery, Jasba

Located in Clifton Springs, NY

The set of 3 vintage Jasba Keramik vases from the 'Aztec' and 'Mexiko' or 'Maya Tiki' lines of their Exotica series features relief decor, influenced by ancient Pre-Columbian civilizations. The sculptural vases in the set interpret traditional vessel forms like a pitcher in a contemporary vein while referencing Pre-Columbian art with an eclectic twist. The vases are decorated with tone-on-tone ochre brown matte glazes on the outer surfaces and semi-matte black glazes on inner surfaces, allowing the complex reliefs to dominate the composition. The vases feature a central wide band of brutalist, rhythmically spaced mythic animals, derived from archaeology or from a wide range of Folk Art sources. The handles are interpreted not as functional parts of the design, but as an important aesthetic feature that was commonly used by West German pottery designers and artists in context of Krug Vase (Jug Vase, or Handled Vase) for their expressive possibilities. In this set, the small handles on two Aztec vases...

Antique and Vintage Vases for Sale

Whether it’s a Chinese Han dynasty glazed ceramic wine vessel, a work of Murano glass or a hand-painted Scandinavian modern stoneware piece, a fine vase brings a piece of history into your space as much as it adds a sophisticated dynamic. 

Like sculptures or paintings, antique and vintage vases are considered works of fine art. Once offered as tributes to ancient rulers, vases continue to be gifted to heads of state today. Over time, decorative porcelain vases have become family heirlooms to be displayed prominently in our homes — loved pieces treasured from generation to generation.

The functional value of vases is well known. They were traditionally utilized as vessels for carrying dry goods or liquids, so some have handles and feature an opening at the top (where they flare back out). While artists have explored wildly sculptural alternatives over time, the most conventional vase shape is characterized by a bulbous base and a body with shoulders where the form curves inward.

Owing to their intrinsic functionality, vases are quite possibly versatile in ways few other art forms can match. They’re typically taller than they are wide. Some have a neck that offers height and is ideal for the stems of cut flowers. To pair with your mid-century modern decor, the right vase will be an elegant receptacle for leafy snake plants on your teak dining table, or, in the case of welcoming guests on your doorstep, a large ceramic floor vase for long tree branches or sticks — perhaps one crafted in the Art Nouveau style — works wonders.

Interior designers include vases of every type, size and style in their projects — be the canvas indoors or outdoors — often introducing a splash of color and a range of textures to an entryway or merely calling attention to nature’s asymmetries by bringing more organically shaped decorative objects into a home.

On 1stDibs, you can browse our collection of vases by material, including ceramic, glass, porcelain and more. Sizes range from tiny bud vases to massive statement pieces and every size in between.
