Vintage Modernist Handmade Plywood Vase
An extraordinary piece of 20th-century artisan woodcraft. Turned on a lathe from a block of laminated birch plywood, this bulbous vase reveals a striking geometric optical pattern as its outer curved silhouette intersects the stacked plywood layers, creating concentric circles and wavy contour lines.
The octagonal-faceted rim adds an extra layer of craftsmanship, showing off the micro-stripes of the timber layers from above. It comes complete with its original removable glass insert sleeve inside the neck, allowing you to display fresh floral arrangements with water while protecting the raw, organic wood interior.
A standout sculptural object for a mid-century sideboard, an architectural desk, or a curated bookshelf display.
Design Style: Mid-Century Modern / Scandinavian Artisan Woodcraft / Op-Art
Dimensions: 15 cm H x 11 cm D
Materials: Laminated Birch Plywood, Removable Glass Vial Insert
Features: Watertight internal glass lining for fresh stems
Condition
Excellent vintage condition. The turned wooden body retains a smooth, silky satin finish with a lovely warm natural grain tone. The glued seams remain completely tight, smooth, and structurally sound throughout, free of splits, cracks, or chips. The interior glass insert is clean, solid, and intact. Ready for immediate display and use.
