Product description
Glass Vase – Glashütte Limburg, West Germany, Mid-Century (1960s–1970s)
Description:
Clear pressed-glass vase produced by Glashütte Limburg, a West German glass manufacturer known for high-quality lighting and decorative glass during the Mid-Century period. The vertically ribbed body and softly scalloped rim create a rhythmic optical effect typical of 1960s–70s modernist glass design, combining sculptural presence with strong light refraction.

About the manufacturer:
Glashütte Limburg was founded in 1947 in Limburg an der Lahn, West Germany, and became internationally recognized during the post-war decades for its refined lighting designs and high-quality glass production. The company collaborated with leading modernist designers and developed a strong reputation for precision glassmaking, particularly in architectural lighting and sculptural pressed-glass objects.
Design observations:
The vase reflects the geometric modernism of West German glass from the 1960s–70s. The vertical ribbing and fluted rim create a structured architectural rhythm reminiscent of Scandinavian and Italian glass design of the same period, while the thick pressed glass gives the object a strong optical depth that interacts beautifully with light.
What for:
Suitable for both collectors of Mid-Century German glass and everyday interior styling. Works well on a dining table, console, or shelf; particularly striking with tall stems, branches, or seasonal flowers, but equally sculptural when displayed empty where the ribbed glass can refract light.
