A peak at a Sascha (Samuel) Brastoff vase that was given to me. Unbeknownst to me, the vase is a collectible of sorts. I had admired its color, angles, and ‘cuts,’ prior to discovering its origin. Sascha Brastoff was an actor, artist, and costume designer of the mid 20th century. His ceramic and metal work was discovered, promoted, and financed by a Rockefeller, after which time its popularity greatly increased. His work embodies the mid-century modern aesthetic.
