After all, no new raw materials need to be used for this product. When you choose vintage, you use what is already available, and that makes it sustainable. You may not be giving these objects a second life, but perhaps even a third or fourth. Vintage products are of high quality and last for several lifetimes for good reason. Behind every vintage product lies a story. The often minimal signs of use offer a glimpse into the life of the previous owner. The extent to which these signs of use are present is stated in the description. Photos are part of this description. Please examine them carefully. Vintage (read: used) items sometimes show color variations, uneven wear, and/or normal wear. Please take this into account when making a purchase.
This ceramic vase is a design by Studio Fris from Edam, the Netherlands, produced in the 1960s. It is model 502, a characteristic example of post-war Dutch ceramic design known for its clean lines and functional aesthetic.
The vase is made of ceramic and features a striking two-tone glaze. The exterior is finished in a soft, cream-colored hue, while the interior has a contrasting brown color. The shape is subtly asymmetrical, with a softly rounded, square opening that tapers towards the base. On the underside, the vase is clearly marked with the Studio Fris stamp, 'made in holland', and the model number 502.
The object is in very good condition, commensurate with its age. The glaze has retained its original luster and the vase shows no significant structural defects. The authentic finish and the distinct mark contribute to the collectible value of this piece.
This vase fits perfectly into a Mid-Century Modern or Scandinavian-inspired interior. The subdued color palette makes it a versatile decorative object that comes into its own on a sideboard or side table, either on its own or with a modest floral arrangement.
