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_15

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.

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.
