Vintage Indian Green Enameled Metal Cone Vase

A wonderfully graphic vintage metal vase with a tall, tapered cone silhouette and beautifully muted green finish.

Hand-shaped and embossed in India, the vase has a clean architectural profile softened by subtle surface texture and age. The army-green enamel gives it a rich, understated color that works beautifully with warm woods, stone, brass and other collected objects.

Its tall narrow form makes it especially good for a few sculptural branches or dried stems, but it has enough presence to work completely on its own as a decorative object.

Simple, slightly unusual and very easy to style — exactly the kind of vintage piece that adds color without making a room feel busy.

Chairish identifies the piece as Indian-made metal, approximately 5" W × 5" D × 13" H, with the seller description dating it to the 1980s while the structured listing places it in the 1970s. I’d conservatively describe it as c. 1970s–1980s.
