These vases were the premier collection from the award winning fine art and design sculpture studio, MT Objects. The molds for these vases no longer exist, and these are the last three vases from that run. These pieces are truly unique one-of-a-kind works of art, individually hand-crafted by artisans at Ceramics La Mejor and inspired by Toltec ceramics. The Toltec civilization dominated Central Mexico from its capital city of Tula from about 900 to 1150 A.D.. The Toltecs were a warrior culture with dark, ruthless gods who demanded conquest and sacrifice. Their art reflected this: there are many depictions of gods, warriors, and priests in Toltec art and ceramics. The later Aztecs thought highly of their skills, claiming that Toltec artisans "taught the clay to lie." This modern, sophisticated vase serves as a spectacular focal point in a variety of environments, from minimalism to Mid-Century Modern and beyond. The pop-art aesthetic of this vase is apparent in the high-gloss glaze and the sculptural accordion shape, as well as the round feet.
