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_12

Produced in the 1950s by the renowned German manufacturer WMF, this glass vase was designed by Bauhaus-trained designer Wilhelm Wagenfeld.

The vase is distinguished by its elegant silhouette, expanding both upward and downward from a gently narrowed central line. The lower section forms a softly rounded body that transitions into a slender neck before gradually opening again toward the rim, creating beautifully balanced proportions. The raised pedestal foot gives the piece a sense of visual lightness while enhancing its sculptural presence.

The glass is finished in a calm smoky-brown tone, with a subtle gradation that deepens toward the base. As light passes through the glass, soft shadows and tonal variations emerge within the material, giving rich expression to the otherwise restrained form.

Slightly larger in scale, this piece is ideal for displaying branches or taller floral arrangements with ease. Beyond its practical use as a flower vase, it also functions beautifully as a standalone sculptural object, bringing a quiet accent to an interior space. The design embodies the refined elegance characteristic of Wagenfeld and reflects the spirit of mid-century modern German design.

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 vintage condition. A highly collectible example of 1950s German design, it remains both functional and visually striking.

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.
