altro. - altro - Vase (2) - massive brass - Solid Brass Vases

Up for auction is an exceptional pair of high-quality brass vases, characterized by complex artisanal craftsmanship that sets them apart in terms of both technical and aesthetic value.

Key Features:

Artistic Decoration: The entire exterior surface is covered with a dense, embossed motif featuring floral elements and scrolling foliage. The repoussé/relief workmanship creates a sophisticated contrast between the polished highlights and darkened recessed areas, giving great depth to the design.

Casting Technique: These vases were crafted using the ancient sand-casting technique. The interior clearly shows the typical grainy, textured surface (sand casting marks), which is undeniable proof of an authentic artistic foundry production rather than an industrial one.

Modular/Detachable Structure: A detail of significant value is the fully detachable nature of these pieces. Each vase can be separated into its original components (base, body, and neck) thanks to sturdy, period-correct threaded joints. This feature guarantees authenticity and superior manufacturing quality compared to common mass-produced items.

The vases are in excellent vintage condition. The natural patina is well-preserved and uniform; there are no significant dents, cracks, or structural defects. All threaded sections are in perfect working order.
