# Antique-Inspired Vases These Rustic Metal and Porcelian Vases are Meant to Look Ancient By Ady Floyd | Published 2015-06-01 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rustic-metal References: [marieliebhardt](http://www.marieliebhardt.com/) & [marieliebhardt](http://www.marieliebhardt.com/Flaws-porcelain) Marie Liebhardt created a line of [rustic metal vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flor-de-bronce) titled the ‘Flaws Collection’. Each vase is made using aged copper and brass. The metal material is mixed with [colored porcelain](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saori-matsushita). Some of the porcelain does not stick to the vase after it dries, which adds a textured finish. The vases were inspired by the deterioration process that happens to cities over an extended period of time. Each rustic metal vase resembles a worn building that has endured weather elements. Each vase looks like it has been rolled in paint and blotted with a sponge. In an attempt to reflect the passing of time, Liebhardt, enhances each vase's irregularities. This process results in a [vintage-inspired decor piece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-home-object). The neutral colors of dark earth tones are suitable for any home. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Vintage-inspired Home Decor:** The trend of incorporating vintage elements into home decor is growing, creating opportunities for businesses to develop unique antique-inspired products. - **Textured Finishes:** The popularity of textured finishes in decor is increasing, offering potential for businesses to experiment with unique textures and finishes in their products. - **Mixed Materials:** The trend of mixing materials in decor products is becoming popular, allowing businesses to create unique pieces by combining unexpected materials. ### Where This Applies - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can capitalize on the vintage and textured trends by creating unique decor pieces with mixed materials. - **Artisanal Crafts:** The artisanal crafts industry can take advantage of the vintage and textured trends by incorporating aged and rustic elements into their handmade products. - **Furniture Design:** The furniture design industry can experiment with textured finishes and mixed materials to create unique and innovative furniture pieces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Greenery-Inspired Textured Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leaf-textured-ceramic-vase.md) - [Ocean-Inspired Home Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-coralshaped-vase.md) - [Exquisite Circular Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salt-vases.md) - [Delicate Colorful Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delicate-colorful-vase.md) - [Copper Tubular Minimal Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hiroyuki-yuasa.md) - [Geometric Ceramic Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limn-collection.md) - [Rusted Patch Porcelain Tiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/erosion-series.md) - [Modern Totem-Like Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/totemlike-vases.md) - [Anamorphic Fuzzy Glowing Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alien-vases.md)
