Produced in the 1950s by the renowned German manufacturer WMF, this glass vase was designed by Bauhaus-trained designer Wilhelm Wagenfeld.
This flower vase features softly smoky glass with a subtle green tint, giving the piece a calm and refined presence.
Its silhouette resembles a gently curved hourglass form, with a stable lower body that rises smoothly before opening elegantly toward the rim. The contrast between the grounded base and the softly expanding upper section creates a graceful visual rhythm.
A slender stem and disc-shaped foot provide both lightness and stability, while the small rounded detail at the center of the stem adds a subtle accent within the otherwise minimal composition.
Within its restrained and uncluttered form, the vase highlights Wagenfeld’s signature functional beauty through refined proportions and delicate tonal nuances. A sophisticated example of vintage glass design that brings a quiet presence into any interior 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. Its vintage charm can be enjoyed on its own or displayed alongside other sizes and variations from the series, allowing the subtle differences in form and balance to be appreciated.
