Produced in the 1950s by the renowned German manufacturer WMF, this glass vase was designed by Bauhaus-trained designer Wilhelm Wagenfeld.
The vase features a gently tapered silhouette with subtle weight concentrated toward the lower section and a smooth widening toward the rim. Its soft olive-green glass beautifully diffuses light, while the gradually deepening tone toward the base creates a calm sense of depth and atmosphere. Within its clean and minimal form, the vase retains the gentle character and warmth unique to vintage glass.
This example is one of the slightly taller sizes within the series, giving it enough presence to beautifully display branches or several stems of flowers. The vertical silhouette brings a refined sense of balance to a space, allowing it to sit elegantly on shelves, tables, or windowsides even when displayed on its own.
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.
Condition Notes:
