The Walha Glas crystal vase from the 1950s exemplifies German layered glass craftsmanship, rooted in the mid-century modern aesthetic. Produced circa 1950 in Germany using hand-faceted, flat-cut techniques, it features a bold geometric silhouette with sharply angled sides and an elongated diamond profile. Its dominant hue is a cool, smoky gray with a subtle greenish undertone, encased in thick, transparent crystal. The coloration transitions smoothly from the inner core to the outer edges, creating a sense of depth and dimensionality. The surface is highly polished to a mirror-like gloss, while the faceted planes refract light dynamically, enhancing the material's clarity and brilliance. The vase measures approximately 18.5 cm in height and 8 cm in both width and length. It remains in excellent original condition, free from signs of wear, damage, or restoration. This vase seems to tell the story of postwar optimism and a dedication to pure form. Its geometric lines and faceted surfaces evoke the spirit of the 1950s, a period in which applied arts rediscovered the transformative power of light and color. The cool glass tone, encased within a transparent mass, reflects the search for harmony between sculptural precision and understated decoration. Each play of light across the facets is a reminder that even an everyday object can become a small sculpture—a silent witness to a bygone era, still ready to reflect new stories. The Walha Glas vase can be paired with minimalist light wood sideboards or marble surfaces, where its form is set against a backdrop that accentuates its play with light. It works well amidst subdued textiles, steel or ceramic accents, highlighting
