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_17

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 features a beautiful gradation that shifts from a soft pale blue to a deep navy tone. The upper section remains light and translucent, while the color gradually concentrates toward the base, creating a calm sense of depth and shadow.

Its cylindrical minimalist form embodies Wagenfeld’s signature functional aesthetic. The clean straight lines and carefully balanced proportions give the piece a refined and uncluttered presence within a space. Within the restrained simplicity of the design, the thickness of the glass and layered coloration become especially expressive, revealing different nuances depending on how the light passes through the material. The slightly weighted lower section also provides a subtle sense of visual and physical stability.

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:

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.
