Vases by Stanley Szwarc, master of stainless steel, who died in 2011. Stanley complained that his vases took too much effort to make, but he kept creating them nonetheless. They are among his most elegant works.

I own a couple of these vases. Any idea of their value?
I’d value them starting around $250. His vases are much less common than his boxes, which you can usually find on eBay for $50 to $900 or more (though I doubt many sell at the higher price). A really nice vase sold in the right venue could be worth closer to the high end of that range. Unfortunately, the market for Stanley’s work is still not what it should be.
