Produced in the 1950s by the renowned German manufacturer WMF, this glass vase was designed by Bauhaus-trained designer Wilhelm Wagenfeld.
This vintage vase features a softly smoky glass with a subtle amber tint, creating a warm and sophisticated atmosphere. The semi-transparent tone, with its slight cloudiness, gently diffuses light and produces calm, nuanced shadows.
The form is defined by a slender silhouette with a softly narrowed waist at the center. Rising gradually from the base and opening again toward the rim, the flowing lines create an elegant and organic rhythm. Delicate in appearance yet visually striking, the vase achieves a beautifully balanced proportion that naturally draws the eye.
Its minimal sculptural form, free from unnecessary decoration, highlights Wagenfeld’s signature approach to functional beauty through subtle variations of color, light, and silhouette. A refined example of vintage modern glass design.
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.
