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 features a soft amber-grey tone with a subtly smoky appearance throughout. While retaining its transparency, the muted color creates calm depth, with gentle shadows appearing inside the glass depending on the light.
The form has an organic silhouette, flowing from a softly rounded body into a slightly narrowed opening. Subtle rhythmic contours near the lower section add a quiet sense of movement within the balanced shape. A short, slender stem and flat circular foot provide both lightness and stability.
Minimal in decoration yet rich in texture and color, this piece beautifully reflects Wagenfeld’s functional beauty and quiet elegance.
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 alongside other sizes and variations, its subtle differences in form and balance can be beautifully 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.
