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_13

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

The vase features an elegant silhouette that gently narrows at the center before expanding toward both the top and bottom. The lower portion has a softly rounded and stable form, from which a slender neck rises gracefully, creating a refined vertical line throughout the composition. Within its stripped-back simplicity, the piece reflects Wagenfeld’s signature sense of proportion and sophisticated balance.

The glass is finished in a slightly smoky olive-brown tone, with a calm gradation that deepens toward the base. As light passes through the material, soft shadows emerge within the glass, allowing delicate changes in expression depending on the viewing angle.

Slightly larger in scale, the vase is well suited for displaying branches or taller floral arrangements. Even without flowers, the beauty of the glass texture and sculptural silhouette allows it to function naturally as a decorative object and quiet focal point within a space.

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. A highly appealing collectible piece, it beautifully captures the atmosphere of mid-century German design.

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.
