Description: Here is the second pair of New Old Stock Meier bud vases we have to offer. We sold one pair and now we have an opportunity to sell another. These are a gorgeous pair of Richard Meier for Swid Powell bud vases with blue glass liners in mint new old stock condition. These elegant vases would grace any table, in any home, for any occasion. These designs appear to channel the inner Josef Hoffmann and the Wiener Werkstätte. Examples of this and other related designs by Meier for Swid Powell can be found in important museum collections. This price is for the pair and we have seen singles in lesser condition fetch more than we are asking. These come from an important collection and the provenance will be provided if purchased.
