The design reflects an Art Deco revival aesthetic translated into mid-century decorative metalwork, balancing classical symbolism with modernized form. The cornucopia, long associated with abundance and prosperity, is rendered here as a sculptural object rather than a literal vessel.

Cast in solid brass, the vases were produced during the mid-20th century for decorative display, functioning equally as ornamental accents or holders for dried stems. Their mirrored configuration and architectural presence align with Mid-Century Modern interiors that favored bold, symbolic objects with sculptural clarity.
