Produced in the 1950s by the renowned German manufacturer WMF, this glass vase was designed by Bauhaus-trained designer Wilhelm Wagenfeld.
Its clean cylindrical form reflects the refined and functional aesthetic associated with Bauhaus design principles. The simple upright silhouette brings a quiet presence to a space, maintaining a beautifully balanced appearance from every angle.
The glass features a soft olive-green tone that gradually deepens toward the base, creating a subtle and elegant gradation. As light passes through the material, the thickness of the glass and overlapping layers of color produce delicate shadows, giving rich expression to the otherwise minimal form.
The slender and slightly taller silhouette makes it especially suitable as a bud vase, beautifully accommodating branches or small floral arrangements with understated elegance. Even without flowers, the vase functions naturally as a sculptural object, adding a calm accent to an interior space.
Founded in 1853, WMF is one of Germany’s most celebrated manufacturers, known for producing high-quality metalware and glass objects throughout its long history. This piece is a fine example of 1950s modernist design and beautifully reflects Wilhelm Wagenfeld’s timeless aesthetic.
There are slight signs of age-related wear, but overall the vase remains in very good condition. As a vintage glass piece that carries the atmosphere of mid-century modern design, it brings a subtle yet refined presence into any interior.
Condition Notes:
