Designed … Read more A striking pair of Postmodern flattened ceramic urn vases from the 1980s, finished in a clean, glossy milk-white glaze. Designed with an exaggerated two-dimensional silhouette, these sculptural vessels offer an architectural, high-concept interpretation of classical neoclassical amphorae. Each vase features sweeping volute scroll handles and a trumpet-shaped neck, compressed into an ultra-slim, geometric profile. This deliberate play between classical antiquity and graphic flatness is quintessential 1980s Postmodern design, strongly influenced by the trompe-l'œil and silhouettes explored by Italian Memphis Milano designers, Michael Graves, and contemporary art potteries. Cast in heavy ceramic with a deep rectangular interior well and a glazed rectangular plinth base, these vases are fully functional for floral stems while operating equally well as freestanding minimalist sculptures. Their slender depth makes them exceptional decorative statements for narrow surfaces, such as a fireplace mantel, shallow console table, hallway credenza, or library bookshelf. with their architectural geometry and monochromatic white glaze, this pair of Postmodern ceramic urn vases seamlessly complements modern, Hollywood Regency, and Scandinavian contemporary interiors.
