Produced in the 1950s by the renowned German manufacturer WMF, this glass vase was designed by Bauhaus-trained designer Wilhelm Wagenfeld.
This slender cylindrical glass vase features a striking clear turquoise-blue tone. The upper section has a light and transparent blue appearance, gradually deepening toward the base into a rich navy tone, creating a sense of depth within the simple form.
The straight, undecorated silhouette highlights Wagenfeld’s functionalist approach to beauty. Its clean cylindrical shape is refined and minimal, allowing a single flower or stem of greenery to stand out with quiet elegance.
Subtle variations and gentle movement can be seen within the glass, and when light passes through it, soft shadows appear inside the material. The darker tone at the base gives the piece visual weight and balance, enhancing its composed presence.
Minimal yet rich in color, this refined vintage glass vase works beautifully as both a decorative object and a subtle accent piece 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. Displayed alone or alongside other sizes and variations from the series, 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.
