Like sculptures or paintings, antique and vintage vases are considered works of fine art. Once offered as tributes to ancient rulers, vases continue to be gifted to heads of state today. Over time, decorative porcelain vases have become family heirlooms to be displayed prominently in our homes — loved pieces treasured from generation to generation.

ALL ITEMS OFFERED must be considered used/previously owned & may have inherent signs of age, use etc. Interior designers include vases of every type, size and style in their projects — be the canvas indoors or outdoors — often introducing a splash of color and a range of textures to an entryway or merely calling attention to nature’s asymmetries by bringing more organically shaped decorative objects into a home. CONDITIONS OF SALE All lots are sold under our Conditions of Sale & Terms of Business for online bidders & buyers are shown below.Whether it’s a Chinese Han dynasty glazed ceramic wine vessel, a work of Murano glass or a hand-painted Scandinavian modern stoneware piece, a fine vase brings a piece of history into your space as much as it adds a sophisticated dynamic. Artists Re-Sale Rights (ARR) may be payable for paintings & other works of art by the Buyer, who in bidding accepts the levy that will be charged in accordance with the terms of the Act if & when it is applicable.
