This glass vase was designed by Wilhelm Wagenfeld, a Bauhaus designer, and manufactured by the prestigious German company WMF in the 1950s.
This "Heart Base" has gently sloping shoulders and a tall, slender mouth. The thicker base improves stability, making it an excellent piece not only as a flower vase but also as an objet d'art. The delicate tourmaline color adds to its appeal, making it a commercially successful item.
The softly rounded form is striking, with a simple, almost spherical, stable body combined with a short, wide mouth. The gentle olive-green glass softly transmits light, and a subtle gradient that darkens towards the bottom creates a sense of depth.
The design harmonizes functionality and sculptural beauty, characteristic of Wagenfeld, exuding a simple yet sophisticated presence. This particular piece is a slightly larger size within the series, making it practical for arranging flowers generously. It beautifully accommodates a single bloom or several grasses and greens, adding a gentle accent to any space.
WMF, founded in 1853, is a leading German manufacturer that has produced numerous excellent design products throughout its long history. This piece is also a vintage item reflecting the modern design of the 1950s, allowing one to easily enjoy Wagenfeld's aesthetic.
While there are minor scuffs from age, the overall condition remains excellent. This glass vase can be enjoyed for its vintage character, and displaying it alongside other sizes and designs reveals the differences in form and beautiful balance.
