Pair of Italian Cast Aluminum Vases 1980s

In the early 1980s, several Italian workshops explored cast aluminum to create objects with a sculptural character. This pair of vases, found in Florence, perfectly exemplifies this formal exploration: asymmetrical silhouettes, flowing lines, and slightly twisted volumes that give each piece a unique presence. Made of cast aluminum and then hand-polished, the vases showcase the material work characteristic of the artisanal productions of the period. No designer has been identified, but the quality of the forms and the modeling evokes the experimental freedom typical of this decade. The condition is good, with a uniform patina and some discreet signs of wear, consistent with the material. Each vase measures 30 cm high, 17 cm wide and 5 cm deep. Presented as a duo, they function as two complementary sculptures, perfect on a console or sideboard to bring a touch of Italian design from the 80s, both raw and refined.
