Make a bold artistic statement with this commanding 32-inch floor vase by Alexander Kalifano.
Rendered in a striking Postmodern Cubist aesthetic inspired by Pablo Picasso, this monumental
vessel features highly stylized, abstract faces, bold geometric color blocking, and a textured metallic
silver ground dotted with vibrant multi-colored jewel tones.

The neck and base are finished in a polished gold luster glaze, framing two distinct compositions on
either side of the vase. The hand-painted finish details include micro-crazing and varied surface gloss
that add exceptional depth and authentic vintage character. Standing nearly three feet tall and
weighing a manageable 16 pounds due to its high-quality, sturdy hand-cast composite construction,
this rare piece is perfect as a standalone sculptural floor accent or a focal point on a large pedestal.

Condition Report: Excellent vintage condition with no structural chips, cracks, or structural damage.
Light, beautiful surface crazing consistent with age and intentional artisanal finishes. Fully cleaned and
ready for display.

The inside shots confirm this is a high-quality, hand-cast composite material (looks like fiber-reinforced resin or heavy fiberglass matte rather than traditional kilned clay pottery). This explains how it can stand 32” tall with intricate geometric details while remaining a manageable 16 pounds (a solid ceramic vase this size would easily exceed 35–40 lbs) See less
