"Cold Rolled Steel / Double Triangles" Vase

Designer Elsa Rady American

Not on view

In contrast to the sculptural and nonfunctional ceramics of the post-World War II studio craft movement, Rady took a more traditional approach in her work by producing utilitarian-like objects. She designed in a vocabulary of hard-edge geometric forms typical of late modernist design. Adding to the sense of austere modernism and the belief that “less is more,” in this vase the glaze approaches the texture of cold-rolled steel.
