Pair of Vintage Italian Large Classical Zinc Garden Urns Italy circa 1980
A pair of vintage Italian large zinc urns from Italy circa 1980. These urns follow the Classical tradition and are modeled on antique examples found in ancient Rome and Greece. Each urn is made from sheet zinc that has been moulded and welded together to achieve these three dimensional pieces. The overall circular shape of the rim is larger than the body with a smooth surface and overhangs the tapered shape of the body. The sides of each urn feature a vertical design rounded lobes that then meet at a column with straight sides but with a horizontal design to the surface. The base of each urn has the shape of a hexagon and rises up in the middle to meet the column. Because these urns are made of zinc they are entirely suitable to be used indoors or outdoors as the material is weather resistant. The other advantage to the zinc is that it is surprisingly light making it easy to use these urns on top of other pieces.
