Description

Nambe Aluminum Vase 1997 Intaglio Engraved Modernist USA

Modernist Nambé aluminum vase, dated 1997 and marked “Made in U.S.A.” on the underside, featuring a sleek cylindrical body with a distinctive angled rim. This example is further enhanced by a hand-engraved intaglio botanical motif, likely added post-production, giving the piece a unique, one-of-a-kind artistic character not typically seen in standard Nambé designs.

Crafted from Nambé’s signature alloy, known for its smooth, reflective finish, this vase embodies the brand’s late 20th-century sculptural aesthetic. Its clean lines and subtle engraving make it equally suited as a decorative object or functional bud vase. A compelling piece for collectors of American metalware or those seeking a distinctive studio-style accent.

Condition:
In good condition with visible scuffing, surface scratches, and signs of use throughout. Finish shows wear consistent with age, particularly in some dulled areas. Engraving remains clear and adds to its visual appeal.

Overall: 9" X 4 1/4" Diameter
