Produced in the 1950s by the renowned German manufacturer WMF, this glass vase was designed by Bauhaus-trained designer Wilhelm Wagenfeld.
This compact glass vase features a vivid green tone with beautiful transparency. The color gently deepens toward the base, creating a subtle gradation that catches the light and produces fresh, luminous shadows.
The form is defined by a stable silhouette that gradually widens toward the bottom, combined with a rhythmic narrowing around the neck. Though small in scale, the gentle contrast between the upper and lower curves creates a visually striking balance that naturally draws the eye.
Combining decorative elegance with functional simplicity, the vase reflects Wagenfeld’s signature rational approach to form while incorporating subtle sculptural detail. Perfect for displaying a single flower or small greenery arrangement, it also serves beautifully as a standalone accent object 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 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:
