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_14

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

The vase features a slender upright silhouette with a softly narrowed center, creating a graceful and well-balanced form. The lower section has a rounded volume that gives the piece visual stability, while the body gradually tapers upward before gently widening again toward the rim. Within its stripped-back minimalism, the vase clearly reflects Wagenfeld’s refined and functional design philosophy.

The glass is finished in a pale greenish smoky tone, with a calm gradation that deepens toward the base. As light passes through the material, soft shadows emerge within the glass, revealing delicate shifts in expression depending on the viewing angle.

Slightly larger in scale, the vase is well suited for displaying branches or taller floral arrangements. Despite its simple form, it carries a quiet presence and can also be appreciated as a sculptural glass object even when left empty.

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. A highly appealing collectible piece, it beautifully captures the atmosphere of mid-century German design.

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.
