Sascha Brastoff
Beaded Flowers
Geometric Vase, Black and Pink ("as is")
A quite amazing black and pink vase from Sascha Brastoff Pottery of California. It has a pyramid or triangle shape with the top cut off, and with a footed base. The pattern is bright pink flowers with white beaded designs, with curving leaves of gold and white beads. The reverse (back side) has a white on gold plume design.
Unfortunately this piece has several condition problems. There is a crack in the front right corner (with a small chip in the black edge), which runs down the ridge and onto the side. There is another crack in the upper left corner which is more visible. The vase is free from crazing, and still makes a nice display, but is being sold "as is" because of the damage.
The 1950s-1960s vintage vase measures 6.25 inches tall and 3 inches wide near the bottom. The front bottom has a signed mark for "Sascha B." The underfoot has a detailed gold rooster mark for "Sascha Brastoff / California / USA" with a gold hand-written mark L5. Price: $5.00. |
