Set of three BMF vases / bud vases dating from the 1970s, combining smooth cylindrical surfaces in silver-toned metal with scarified decorative bands.
All three pieces share the same Brutalist vocabulary: simple geometric forms, polished or satin-finished metal, and broad raised bands with a deliberately irregular and organic appearance.
Two vases have a straight cylindrical form, while the third, slightly taller and more slender, stands on a small circular pedestal foot, adding an interesting variation to the composition.
