Pair of Sculptural Minimalist Bud Vases – Ribbed Terracotta Finish, Scandinavian Style, c.1970s

This striking pair of sculptural bud vases features a beautifully understated design with fine ribbing and a subtly organic bottle form.

Likely dating to the 1970s, their style echoes the restrained elegance of Scandinavian and Japandi design language.

Believed to be formed from terracotta or earthenware, the vases are finished with a matte, textured coating—possibly slip or engobe rather than a gloss glaze.

This lends a soft, earthy tactility that enhances the ribbed detailing while preserving an organic aesthetic.

Impressed with a simple “W16” to the base but otherwise unmarked, these pieces offer timeless appeal across a range of interiors—from minimalist and wabi-sabi to curated contemporary spaces.
