Two Vases, Lotus

This is a Two Vases. It was manufactured by Fostoria Glass Company. Its medium is mold-blown transparent glasses.

Fostoria turned to artist and designer George Sakier to update its product lines with a modern aesthetic. Conceived for mass production, Sakier's vases evoke a stylized classicism through vertical fluting. The designs terminate in flat, perpendicular rims that evoke and industrial aesthetic.
