This is an authentic, reversible art glass object by the renowned German manufacturer Schott Zwiesel, dating from the Mid-Century Modern / Space Age era. The piece is defined by its clever, dual-function design, serving as both a minimalist flower vase and an elegant candle holder.
Crafted in Germany during the 1960s or 1970s, this versatile object is made from high-quality, hand-blown crystal glass. Its unique construction allows for two distinct orientations:
• As a Vase: One orientation presents a graceful vase with a finely satin-finished, frosted white body that softly diffuses light, balanced by a solid clear glass base.
• As a Candle Holder: When inverted, it transforms into a stable, minimalist candlestick holder designed for a standard dinner candle, beautifully showcasing its heavy, clear glass construction.
With its clean, purist silhouette characteristic of the Space Age style, this object functions as a striking decorative piece on its own. It is well-suited for a sideboard, side table, or mantelpiece in any modern, Scandinavian, or vintage-inspired interior.
Condition Report:

The glass is bright, pristine, and entirely free of imperfections, maintaining its original clarity, luster, and finish.
