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_28

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

This refined glass vase features a soft blue tone with a subtle green tint. The upper section has a gentle, slightly milky hue, gradually deepening toward the base into a rich green tone, creating a quiet sense of depth.

The form is a clean, slightly tapered cylindrical silhouette with a gently widened base for stability. Free from unnecessary decoration, the vase relies solely on proportion and tonal gradation to express Wagenfeld’s signature functional beauty. The thicker base allows the color to gather naturally, giving the piece both visual and practical balance.

When light passes through the glass, soft shadows and subtle movement appear within the material, giving this minimal form a beautifully nuanced expression.

The original “WMF KRISTALL” label remains on the body, adding to its charm and authenticity as a German vintage piece. Its calm and understated beauty blends naturally into a space while still creating a refined presence.

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 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.
