Produced in the 1950s by the renowned German manufacturer WMF, this glass vase was designed by Bauhaus-trained designer Wilhelm Wagenfeld.
This vintage glass vase is distinguished by its deep emerald green tone. While the color remains largely even throughout the piece, the thicker base subtly intensifies in depth, creating a quiet gradation and a sense of visual richness.
The form combines a softly rounded body with a slender upright neck, resulting in a refined and balanced silhouette. The harmony between the gentle curves and clean vertical lines reflects Wagenfeld’s signature sense of rational proportion and understated elegance.
Subtle variations and delicate movement within the glass become visible as it catches the light, creating a softly shimmering effect inside the material. The thickness and concentrated color toward the base form a visual center of gravity, giving the compact vase a calm and stable presence. Within its minimal composition, the beauty of color and material is elegantly distilled.
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:
