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_33

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 smoky amber tone with a subtle grey undertone, creating a calm and refined atmosphere. While retaining its transparency, the muted coloration gently diffuses light and produces delicate, quiet shadows.

The form is composed of a slender cylindrical body that gradually widens toward the rim. A small spherical transition near the lower section connects the body to a disc-shaped foot, emphasizing the elegant vertical line while maintaining a light and balanced stability.

The rim is finished thinly and delicately, opening slightly outward to naturally accommodate flowers and branches. The contrast between the airy lightness of the upper portion and the gradually deepening tone and thickness of the glass toward the base gives the piece a beautifully balanced presence.

Within its restrained and minimal form, subtle shifts in proportion and gentle sculptural details create a quiet rhythm characteristic of Wagenfeld’s functional aesthetic. Beautiful as a single-flower vase, it also serves as a refined standalone object that quietly enhances 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:

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.
