AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pair of Finnish vases designed by Pentti Sarpaneva for Oy Kumela Glassworks, dating from the 1960s.
The two vases share the same architectural form in thick molded glass, adorned with circular and semicircular motifs in strong relief. One is made of amber/brown glass, the other of transparent glass.
Each vase is topped with a substantial openwork bronze collar, with an organic and Brutalist design characteristic of the work.
Pentti Sarpaneva (1925–1978) was a Finnish designer and jeweler, particularly known for his bronze work and his Modernist and Brutalist creations. He is also the brother of Finnish designer Timo Sarpaneva.
Both vases are in excellent condition, with no chips, cracks, or restorations to report. The photographs are an integral part of the description.
The presence of the two color variants gathered together in a pair, in the large 21 cm size, makes for a particularly decorative set.
Very careful packaging and protected shipping.
