The naturalistic pond-life motifs and quality of the metalwork are consistent with Asian export craftsmanship of the late 20th century.

The set comprises two taller vases (16” H × 4.75” D) and two shorter vases (14” H × 4.75” D), creating a graduated display ideal for an entryway, dining table, or decorative vignette. The warm, rich tones of the natural bamboo contrast beautifully with the bright silver accents. Complete sets of four are exceptionally rare — a comparable pair recently listed on 1stDibs at $2,400.

Condition: Very good — minor wear consistent with age. No maker’s marks. See less
