Produced in the 1950s by the renowned German manufacturer WMF, this glass vase was designed by Bauhaus-trained designer Wilhelm Wagenfeld.
This small flower vase features softly smoky glass with a subtle green tint, giving the piece a calm and refined presence. The semi-transparent surface, gently clouded in appearance, catches light beautifully and creates delicate shadows with a quiet atmospheric quality.
The form gradually widens toward the base in a smooth conical silhouette. Composed of clean and minimal lines, the vase maintains a balanced and elegant proportion from every angle. The opening is gently flared rather than tightly narrowed, designed to naturally accommodate a single flower or slender branch arrangement.
The harmony between its understated coloration and minimal sculptural form reflects Wagenfeld’s signature functional beauty. Though compact in size, it carries a quiet sophistication that allows even the simplest floral arrangement to stand out beautifully within a space.
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 fine 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 character 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:
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.
