Graduated Set of Three Mid-20th Century Aluminum French Florist Vases - 15¾"

These three mid-20th-century French florist vases, crafted from lightweight aluminium with a weighted base for stability, offer an elegant trio of trumpet forms with flared lips, stepped circular feet, and incised rings that gently catch the light. Their petite-to-medium graduated scale feels charmingly personal, while their timeworn surfaces, with scuffs, small dings, oxidation, and water marks, speak to decades of practical use, and one vase’s pierced body simply calls for a discreet liner.

Once staples of florists ateliers from the 1930s to the 1950s, these subtly Deco vessels evoke the refined simplicity of French commercial wares of the era. Grouped together, the three create an easy sculptural rhythm on a console or mantel, especially with dried grasses or branches. With a glass or plastic liner they are ready for fresh arrangements for alfresco dining or a kitchen island, and their matte, time-softened patina blends beautifully with stoneware, zinc, weathered wood, and the relaxed elegance of a conservatory.
