This pair of ceramic vases from ASA, produced in Germany in the 1980s, exemplifies a modernist minimalist approach in which form and color become a unified statement. Made from ceramic, both vases are finished in a bold, saturated cobalt blue semi-matte glaze that gives the surface a soft, velvety appearance. Their geometric, asymmetrical silhouettes – with slightly slanted cylindrical bodies and angled oval openings – create a dynamic, sculptural profile. The proportions are harmonious, with a broad, stable base and gently curved sides. There are no decorative details or visible seams, emphasizing the precision of craftsmanship and the clarity typical of late 20th-century German design. Each vase has a minor, professionally retouched chip on the upper rim; otherwise, the set remains in very good vintage condition. The listed price refers to the set of two vases. These vases tell the story of the 1980s, when design explored the interplay between simplicity and expression. The cobalt hue evokes the industrial palette of the era and a boldness in the use of color, while the asymmetrical form reflects a fascination with new proportions and dynamic movement. This pair embodies the restraint of German modernism, yet also suggests a subtle sense of momentum—as if each vase leans forward, inviting light to play across its smooth, matte surface. It is a narrative of geometry and color that defined the decorative language of the 1980s. The two vases could be placed together on a low sideboard or console in the living room, where their sculptural shapes will serve as a graphic accent within the interior. They pair well with other objects of simple form—such as a glass tray, a lamp with a metal base, or artwork in a black frame—to highlight the minimalist character of the set. Both vases would fit seamlessly into mid
