Produced in the 1950s by the renowned German manufacturer WMF, this glass vase was designed by Bauhaus-trained designer Wilhelm Wagenfeld.
This vintage glass vase is distinguished by its vivid green coloration. The upper section features a bright, translucent green with a light and airy quality, gradually deepening toward the base into a richer tone that gives the simple form a sense of depth and shadow.
The silhouette is gently narrowed at the center and softly expands toward both the top and bottom. While based on clean, straight lines, the subtle curves introduce a sense of softness, creating a refined balance between rational structure and organic form characteristic of Wagenfeld’s design approach.
Its compact and versatile size makes it ideal as a bud vase, while the vibrant color adds a quiet accent to any space. Within its minimal composition, the richness of color and texture is beautifully condensed, resulting in a sophisticated example of vintage modern glass.
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. Displayed alone or alongside other sizes and variations from the series, its subtle differences in form and balance can be beautifully appreciated.
Condition Notes:
