Produced in the 1950s by the renowned German manufacturer WMF, this glass vase was designed by Bauhaus-trained designer Wilhelm Wagenfeld.
This small glass vase features a beautiful pale blue-green transparency. The color gradually shifts from an almost clear, airy tone at the upper section to a deeper smoky shade toward the base, creating a delicate gradation with quiet depth and shadow.
The form combines a softly rounded, flattened body with a short upright neck, resulting in a simple yet well-balanced silhouette. Wagenfeld’s signature functional beauty and refined proportions are clearly expressed, giving the compact piece a stable and elegant presence.
Beautiful as a bud vase, it also works as a small decorative object. Within its minimal design, the richness of color and texture is quietly condensed, giving this vintage glass piece a calm and refined charm.
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 fine 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. Displayed alongside smaller sizes, the differences in form and balance can be beautifully appreciated.
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.
