Description :

Vintage 1980s Vohann of California Postmodern Ceramic Vase

This striking vintage ceramic vase was designed by Vohann of California, Inc., a celebrated California maker known for bold postmodern forms and refined pastel palettes during the 1980s. Crafted in Cypress Beach, California, this piece exemplifies the era’s sculptural approach to decorative ceramics.

The vase features a softly rounded, architectural silhouette with layered pastel glazes in mint green, blush, lavender, and warm sand tones. Abstract painterly accents flow vertically across the surface, adding movement and artistic depth. The high-gloss glaze reveals subtle crazing consistent with age and original firing, enhancing its vintage character without compromising structural integrity.

A beautiful standalone statement piece, ideal for collectors of postmodern design, California ceramics, or elevated interior styling.
