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_11

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 distinctive silhouette that rises gracefully from a softly rounded pedestal-like base into an elongated form that gently opens toward the rim. The design combines geometric clarity with soft curves, reflecting the Bauhaus philosophy of balancing functionality and beauty.

The glass is finished in a calm olive-green tone that gradually deepens toward the base, creating a subtle and elegant gradation. The contrast between the thin, delicate walls and the thicker lower section produces beautiful shadows when illuminated, giving depth and richness to the otherwise minimal form.

The gently flared opening makes the vase especially suitable for arranging flowers, whether a few stems of greenery or a small bouquet. Its tall silhouette introduces a refined vertical line into a space, bringing a quiet presence to shelves, tables, or windowsides. Even without flowers, the vase can be appreciated as a sculptural object in its own right.

Founded in 1853, WMF is one of Germany’s most celebrated manufacturers, known for producing high-quality metalware and glass objects throughout its long history. This piece is a fine example of 1950s modernist design and beautifully reflects Wilhelm Wagenfeld’s sophisticated aesthetic.

There are slight signs of age-related wear, but overall the vase remains in very good condition. Carrying the atmosphere of mid-century modern design, this vintage glass vase also makes a highly appealing collectible piece.
