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...

French Art Deco Glass Vase by Daum, Thick Blown Green Glass, 1930s

By Daum

Located in Saint-Amans-des-Cots, FR

A striking French Art Deco glass vase by Daum, crafted in Nancy, France, during the 1930s. This sculptural vintage vase is made from thick hand-blown glass in a rich green tone, with subtle internal bubbles and natural variations that give the surface exceptional depth and character. Its broad, asymmetrical silhouette reflects the refined modernism of the Art Deco period while retaining the organic quality associated with handcrafted French art glass. The substantial walls create a strong architectural presence, while the translucent green color shifts beautifully according to the surrounding light. Displayed near a window or under focused lighting, the vase reveals nuanced shades ranging from deep emerald to softer olive green. The base is signed “Daum + Nancy France,” confirming its authenticity and origin. Founded in Nancy in the late 19th century, Daum became one of France’s most celebrated glassmakers, renowned for its technical innovation, artistic experimentation, and collaborations with leading designers and artists. With its generous proportions and bold form, this Daum vase makes an impressive decorative statement on a console, sideboard, pedestal, mantel, or contemporary coffee table. It may be displayed as a standalone sculptural object or used for a restrained floral arrangement. The vase remains in very good vintage condition, with minor signs of age consistent with its period and use. An exceptional addition to a collection of Daum Nancy glass, French Art Deco decorative arts, 1930s design, or important European studio glass. Dimensions: Height: 7.5 in. (19 cm) Width: 8.7 in.

Lee Levy Multi Spouted Vase, American Studio Pottery

Located in Clifton Springs, NY

Vintage ceramic bud vase features sculptural multi spouted shape and stunning textured drip glaze in earthy, organic brown palette. The gradation glaze color and abstract graphic pattern of the main decor emphasize the soft, rounded shape of the vase; the use of shades of brown, from dark espresso to mocha to off-shite cappuccino, creates rich and varied, but monochromatic palette that does not overpower the complex form and shape of the vase. The vase is signed on the bottom with LEE, that was Lee Levy customary signature; it is not dated, but the style of the piece is consistent with her Mid-Century Modern pieces created in 1960s-1970s. Leah "Lee" Levy (1922 - 2011) was an established pottery artist based in Upstate New York area.

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.

Questions About Vases

    To tell how old your vase is, you'll need to do some research using trusted online resources. Begin by determining who produced your vase, if possible. You can start by examining your vase for a maker's mark. Then, you can learn more about the maker to find out when pieces similar to yours were produced. If you have difficulty locating a marking, try snapping a photo of your vase and conducting a reverse image search to try and identify your piece and learn its age. Alternatively, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can assist you with the dating process. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of vases.

    No, generally, you can't put water in a clay vase. Because clay is a porous material, it will absorb water readily, and in some cases, clay vessels filled with water may leak. However, you can purchase liners to put inside a clay vase if you wish to use it to display fresh flowers. On 1stDibs, explore a large selection of vases.

    The top of a vase is called the mouth. People refer to the top edge of a vase as its rim or mouth rim. On a vase with a narrow section that connects the mouth with the rest of the piece, that area is known as the neck, while the part below the neck is the body or base.
