This extravagant object is a hand-blown glass vase, crafted in the tradition of Thuringian glass art around 1960-1970. Its sculptural, organic silhouette is characteristic of the Mid-Century era aesthetic and recalls the forms of Space Age design. The vase was made from wafer-thin glass, giving it a remarkably low weight. It measures approximately 23 cm in height and has a diameter of about 9 cm at its widest point. The design features a two-tone composition, where a vibrant cobalt blue in the lower part transitions into a warm amber tone in the upper area. This color gradient technique, combined with the stepped shape, creates a dynamic visual interplay, especially when light passes through the glass. The condition of the vase is excellent and consistent with its age. The glass is clear and free of visible signs of wear, indicating careful storage over the decades. The filigree craftsmanship, known for the glassworks from the Lauscha region, is evident in the precise execution and balanced shaping of the piece. As a decorative single item, this vase sets a striking accent in any interior. It pairs perfectly with Mid-Century Modern or Pop Art style furnishings and harmonizes well on a teak sideboard or a minimalist shelf, where its form and color can be appreciated.
