AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Splendid and rare triptych of cylindrical vases in artistic ceramic, characterized by an asymmetrical diagonal cut on the upper part that gives a strong sculptural and dynamic impact. The pieces feature an elegant matte milky-white finish on the exterior, with delicate rosy/ochre hues baked into the inner profile of the cut.
A set with avant-garde and essential design, perfect both as flower vases and as decorative sculptures for interiors in Mid-Century Modern, Minimalist, or Brutalist style.
On the bottom of one of the pieces, the authentic maker's signature is clearly visible, handmade: "La Sfera" with its graphic monogram.
