Vintage Glass Flower Vase ヴィンテージ ガラスベース [ウィルヘルム・ワーゲンフェルド - WMF] SW_6

This glass vase was produced by the renowned German manufacturer WMF and designed by Bauhaus-trained designer Wilhelm Wagenfeld.

The piece is distinguished by its clean vertical lines and refined minimalist silhouette. Gently weighted toward the base and smoothly tapering toward the rim, the form creates a calm and elegant balance. The soft olive-green glass diffuses light beautifully, while the slightly deepening tone toward the bottom creates a quiet sense of depth and atmosphere.

This example is one of the smaller sizes within the series, making it ideal for displaying a single flower or small arrangement of greenery. Its simple form naturally enhances floral arrangements and blends effortlessly into shelves, tables, windowsides, and a variety of interior settings.

Founded in 1853, WMF remains one of Germany’s leading manufacturers, still known today for producing high-quality metal tableware. During the 1950s, the company created many products influenced by Bauhaus design principles, with Wilhelm Wagenfeld playing a significant role in that creative direction.

This vase is a beautiful example of 1950s modernist design and offers an accessible way to appreciate Wagenfeld’s refined aesthetic.

Beautifully showcasing Wilhelm Wagenfeld’s timeless design philosophy, this vase makes a wonderful addition to any collection. Its understated elegance allows it to stand comfortably both as a functional flower vase and as a sculptural decorative object.

There are slight signs of age-related wear, but overall the vase remains in very good vintage condition. Displayed alongside the larger size from the same series, the balance and contrast of proportions can be appreciated even more beautifully.

Condition Notes:

Minor surface marks and extremely small scratches may be visible in places, though none detract from the overall beauty of the piece. With minimal signs of use, this remains a rare vintage collectible in exceptionally good condition.
