RARE Early Eduardo Vega Signed 6 Pc Cannister Set Abstract MCM Artesa Equador

Rare Collector’s Opportunity: Early Studio Eduardo Vega 6-Piece Set

Up for auction is a stunning and exceptionally rare 6-piece ceramic canister set by the world-renowned Ecuadorian artist Eduardo Vega.

This is not the common floral or bird pattern; this set features a scarce, early-period abstract geometric design from the 1970s, showcasing Vega's modernist roots and European influence.

Artist Provenance & Markings:

These pieces represent Vega’s early studio output. Each canister is hand-signed by the artist on the side body—a hallmark of his more personal, early works. Additionally, the original silver "Vega Hand Painted" labels remain intact on the bases, providing definitive provenance for the serious collector.

Set Composition:

3 Large Canisters with Lids: Perfect for flour, sugar, or coffee.

3 Small Spice/Storage Jars with Lids: Ideal for spices or desktop organization.

Bold earth tones of Forest Green, Cerulean Blue, and Burnt Orange.
