Product description
Kristallglaswerk Hirschberg Sculptural Vase Germany, circa 1960s White Art Glass | Mid-Century Modern | Space-Age Futurism
A rare example of sculptural purity from the renowned *Kristallglaswerk Hirschberg*, this mid-century vase captures the essence of space-age design in its most distilled form. Rendered in a luminous, opaline white, the vase features a rhythmic, spiraling relief that evokes both the kinetic energy of a supernova and the serene elegance of lunar landscapes.
The design is bold yet minimal—an embodiment of West Germany’s postwar fascination with form, innovation, and the future. Its tactile ridges invite both light and touch, creating an object that is as architectural as it is poetic.
- Origin: West Germany
- Date: Circa 1960s
- Material: Pressed and molded art glass
- Color: Pure white, subtly translucent under light
- Dimensions: 22.5 cm tall, 19.5 cm wide and 5.5 cm in depth, featuring intricate textured patterns.
- Condition: Very good vintage condition. No chips, cracks, or repairs. Minor signs of age consistent with careful display.
Styling Notes:
This vase stands alone as a sculptural focal point, but also integrates effortlessly into curated collections of mid-century ceramics or modernist glass. Its monochromatic palette and dynamic texture make it a versatile statement piece—perfect for interiors that blend Brutalism, minimalism, or even playful postmodern accents.
Provenance:
From a private European collection. The work is unsigned, as is typical for the manufacturer, but attributed with confidence to Kristallglaswerk Hirschberg based on form, material, and known catalog parallels.
Collectors' Insight:
Works from Hirschberg’s more experimental series—particularly in neutral or monochrome palettes—are increasingly sought-after for their sophisticated dialogue between industrial technique and sculptural artistry. This piece exemplifies that ethos with quiet authority.
