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 distinctive near-spherical form accented by flowing vertical ribbed detailing across the surface. The soft curves and rhythmic linear texture catch the light beautifully, creating delicate shadows and giving the piece a rich and expressive presence despite its minimal design. The pale olive-green glass gradually deepens in tone toward the base, lending the vase the calm atmosphere characteristic of vintage glass.
This example is one of the larger sizes within the series, offering a balanced presence ideal for displaying branches or fuller floral arrangements. Even with several stems or greenery, the softly rounded form and ribbed texture add gentle depth and atmosphere to a space. The vase also retains a sculptural beauty when displayed on its own, functioning naturally as a decorative object.
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.
This elegant glass vase beautifully showcases Wilhelm Wagenfeld’s refined design philosophy and makes a wonderful addition to any collection.
There are slight signs of age-related wear, but overall the vase remains in very good condition. Its vintage character and quiet elegance make it especially appealing both as a decorative object and as a collectible piece.
Condition Notes:
