Displaying a bold, rhythmic interplay of light and dark wood veneers, the vessel features a precise checkerboard and striped pattern wrapped around a tapered, architectural form. A central bulbous ring breaks the silhouette, lending a sculptural, totem-like quality to the piece. The meticulous alignment of contrasting wood tones celebrates the natural grain while achieving a highly stylized, Op Art-inspired aesthetic that feels both playful and refined.


Measuring 4.5" W x 4.5" D x 9" H, this versatile vessel serves beautifully as a tabletop accent, a dry-stem holder, or a standout addition to an open shelving vignette. Its faceted base provides a grounded, stable footprint while reinforcing its sharp, geometric character. The vase remains in very good vintage condition, exhibiting a warm, hand-polished finish and minor surface character marks appropriate to its age. Acquire this distinctive piece of decorative art to bring a touch of warm, graphic Modernism into your home collection. See less
