Produced in the 1950s by the renowned German manufacturer WMF, this glass vase was designed by Bauhaus-trained designer Wilhelm Wagenfeld.
The vase features a gently tapered silhouette, with subtle weight concentrated toward the base and a smooth narrowing toward the rim. Its soft olive-green glass beautifully diffuses light, while the slightly deepening tone toward the bottom creates a quiet sense of depth and atmosphere. Within its minimal form, the vase carries the gentle character and warmth unique to vintage glass.
This particular example is one of the smaller sizes within the series, making it ideal for displaying a single flower or small arrangement of greenery. The simple silhouette naturally enhances whatever is placed inside, while its understated presence allows it to blend beautifully into shelves, tabletops, or windowside displays.
Founded in 1853, WMF is one of Germany’s most celebrated manufacturers, known for producing exceptional design objects throughout its long history. This vase is a wonderful example of 1950s modernist design and offers an accessible way to appreciate Wagenfeld’s timeless aesthetic.
There are slight signs of age-related wear, but overall the vase remains in very good condition. Its vintage charm can be enjoyed on its own or displayed alongside other sizes and variations from the series, allowing the subtle differences in form and balance to be appreciated.
Condition Notes:
