Large aluminium and ceramic vases, Ventura Living, 2000s

Description

Pair of designer vases by Ventura Living – aluminium and ceramic, 50 cm
A pair of designer vases by Australian company Ventura Living, made from a combination of ceramic and polished aluminium.
The vases feature an exceptionally distinctive, sculptural form reminiscent of a gently curved spiral. The two pieces form a mirror-image pair, so they look best displayed together on either side of a console, sideboard, fireplace or table.
The lower sections are made of ceramic with a white, decoratively aged finish, while the upper sections are made of shiny silver aluminium. The contrast between the matte ceramic and polished metal creates a striking, modern effect.
The vases are large and decorative – approximately 50 cm tall – making them a striking feature in any interior. They can be displayed as standalone decorative pieces or incorporated into arrangements with dried flowers and grasses.

Original Ventura Living labels on the undersides confirm the provenance of the pieces. The pair is in good vintage condition, with minor signs of use. The aluminium surfaces show slight signs of age and use, while the ceramic retains its original finish.
This is an interesting example of decorative design from the turn of the 21st century, particularly appealing to enthusiasts of contemporary design and striking interior arrangements.
