"Ceramic Vase Or Umbrella Holder From The Brutalist Period, Signed "
A vase that actually appears to belong to the Brutalist era, an artistic and architectural movement that took off in the 1950s and 1970s. The Brutalist style is characterized by massive forms, raw materials such as concrete, and an absence of unnecessary ornamentation. If the vase has clean lines, an imposing structure, and the use of unpolished or rough materials, it may well fit into this aesthetic. It is a style often associated with functional simplicity and the beauty of materials in their natural state.
