Left to right:

  • Contemporary Palestinian vase from Ramallah

  • 1960s East German vase

  • wooden Soviet vase, 1950s-70s maybe

  • 1910s Austro-Hungarian art nouveau vase

  • 1970 Soviet vase in honour of Lenin’s 100th birthday

Only the Lenin one cost more than $30. I’m aiming for antique pieces from countries that have been significant to the left or modernist movements.
