An exquisite pair of vintage Asian-inspired bud vases, showcasing a masterfully executed mother of pearl inlay against a deep, dramatic black background. Featuring a classic, graceful silhouette with a gently flared rim and a tapered body, each vase serves as a dark canvas for an intricate scene of birds perched among blooming branches and bamboo shoots. The iridescent shell segments are precision-cut, catching the light with soft pink, green, and blue luster that shifts beautifully with movement. Their moody coloration and elegant, organic motifs make them a versatile statement pair—perfect for anchoring a minimalist mantelpiece, adding depth to a maximalist Chinoiserie vignette, or displaying delicate spring blossoms.
Designer Unattributed / Vintage Artisan
Period Mid-to-Late 20th Century
Dimensions 9 cm Diameter (at widest point) x 20 cm H (Each)
Materials Black Satin-Finished Base (Likely Ebonized Wood) with Genuine Mother of Pearl Inlay
Condition Very Good Vintage Condition. The structural integrity of both pieces is excellent, with no chips, cracks, or deep scratches to the bodies. One vase exhibits a super minor, localized fading to the iridescence of the mother of pearl decoration, which blends naturally into the antique character of the piece and does not distract from the overall display. The interiors are clean and stable.
