Designed by Kurt Wokan for Ingrid Glasshutte in West Germany, this vase is a distinct example of bold 1970s glass design, crafted from pressed crystal glass. The piece features a deep amethyst purple tone that fades into a lighter, almost transparent shade at the wide, stable base, highlighting its heavy, sculptural silhouette. The exterior is highly textured with an organic, bark-like pattern and finished with a high gloss, creating an almost wet, luminous effect. The irregular form, flared rim, and substantial thickness of the glass emphasize its artisanal, handcrafted quality, while the glossy surface reflects light and enhances the tactile nature of the design. The condition is described as very good, with no visible chips, damage, or restoration; only minor, natural imperfections from the production process remain. This vase embodies the spirit of experimentation and boldness that defined European art glass in the 1970s. Its bark-like surface evokes organic inspirations of the era, when design merged brutalist expressiveness with natural references. The thickness and weight suggest a longing for palpable forms—substantially present in the room—so that every touch and reflection underscores the individuality and uniqueness of its decade. It is an object that not only decorates, but interprets its own era, acting as a small manifesto of material sensuality. The vase can be displayed solo on a low console or solid wood sideboard to fully showcase its sculptural presence and the interplay of light on its surface. It also pairs well with minimalist ceramics or glass in contrasting hues—such as light, matte vessels or simple metal sculptures. In mid-century modern, brutalist, or eclectic collector's interiors, the vase accentuates
