Product description
An icon of Western European modernist design—a glass vase from the renowned *Turmalin* series, designed in the 1950s by Wilhelm Wagenfeld, a distinguished Bauhaus professor, for the esteemed German manufacturer WMF (Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik).
The vase features a beautiful, minimalist form with a slightly flattened profile that tapers towards the top. It is handcrafted from thick, heavy, solid-colored crystal glass. It captivates the eye with a stunning, fluid gradient shifting between shades of smoky sea-green and classic tourmaline, effectively filtering and refracting natural light. Its aesthetic perfectly embodies the Mid-Century Modern era and the austere elegance of the Bauhaus movement.
A massive, thick base ensures the vessel’s stability, allowing for the safe display of anything from single stems and pampas grass to elaborate floral arrangements. An exceptional piece for collectors of luxury art glass and enthusiasts of 1950s and 1960s retro design.
