A rare vintage silver-plated vase built from two clean geometric shapes. The body is a cone, and it's capped by a wide flat shoulder with a single oval opening cut off-centre. The line where the two meet is sharp, so the vase reads as a piece of sculpture from across the room. It's a substantial piece measuring around 1.5kg.
Recently polished, so the plating has its shine back on the cone.
Period: Late 20th century
Dimensions: 26 cm wide, 18 cm high.
Materials: Silver plate
Condition: good vintage condition with honest wear. The plating has worn through in patches on the top shoulder, around the opening, where the darker base metal shows through. One side of the shoulder has been pushed in slightly, which you can see as a soft dip in the line of the rim. It's on one side only, so it can be turned to the back. The cone is clean and the vase stands level.
