Glass Vase Vintage Glass Base [Wilhelm Wagenfeld - WMF] SW_15

Material: Glass

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

This elegant flower vase features a beautiful blue gradation, shifting from a soft pale blue at the top to a deeper blue toward the base. Depending on the light, the glass reveals varying levels of transparency and depth, creating a calm and luminous atmosphere.

The rounded body is decorated with gently undulating molded contours, giving the surface a texture reminiscent of rippling water. From the softly curved shoulders, the form rises cleanly toward the neck, ending in a slightly flared opening that balances the overall silhouette beautifully. The lower section is supported by a slender stem and circular foot, giving the vase a compote-like appearance that combines stability with visual lightness. The thickness of the glass and the subtle shadows within the material add a sculptural presence to the piece.

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 alongside smaller sizes, the subtle differences in form and proportion can be beautifully appreciated.

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.
