The Museum Bud Vases

This pair of bud vases represent what we think of as the start of Jono Pandolfi Designs: They were commissioned for the 2004 re-opening of MoMA's Terrace 5 Café and Café 2, helmed by Danny Meyer. In collaboration with a floral designer, Jono created a set of porcelain vases to showcase seasonal blooms alongside the reinvented menu. Pick up this pair if you'd like to set the table with New York City culinary-design history in your own home. Measurements: Short Vase: 3.5"" diameter x 3"" height, Tall Vase: 3"" diameter x 4"" height Shipping lead time: 5-10 business days. About the 20th Anniversary Collection It all started at the Museum of Modern Art. In 2004, as Danny Meyer was preparing to re-open MoMA’s Terrace 5 Café and Café 2, his then-employee, future restaurateur and owner of Make It Nice hospitality group, Will Guidara, commissioned Jono Pandolfi to design a chocolate dishes, chopstick holders, and a set of bud vases for the project. In hindsight, this was it: Jono’s big break. What has followed in the 20 years since has spanned ceramics studios from Queens to Union City, New Jersey, where the operation has grown from a single kiln to more than a dozen and a one-man operation is now a team of 24 artisans. We’ve served over 750 hospitality clients, more than 15,000 home cooks, and, sometime last year, we’re pretty sure we made our one millionth plate. Featuring reissues from the archive and new collaborations with chefs, this Special Edition Anniversary collection is a celebration of 20 years of making the world a better plate.
