ABOUT PRODUCTID 17151
This jam dish, designed by Wilhelm Wagenfeld for WMF in 1960s Germany, exemplifies restrained design shaped by Bauhaus ideals. The object is constructed from thick transparent glass, divided into two rectangular compartments with gently rounded corners and flat sides, emphasizing its geometric clarity. The satin stainless steel lid fits with precise accuracy over the glass base; the centrally raised handle arcs subtly, balancing practical intent with sober visual rhythm. Each component merges seamlessly, with joinery carefully concealed to underscore the designer's commitment to functional precision. The proportions—low and wide—grant reliable stability, while all surfaces remain immaculate, showing no scratches, chips, or discoloration, even when compared to well-preserved pieces from the same era. Within this compact form, the spirit of postwar modernism endures: pragmatism aligns with a disciplined sense of material purpose. The object gently narrates the era’s aspirations—metal gleams and glass remains pristinely clear, echoing a desire for order and authenticity in daily rituals. The Bauhaus pedigree quietly asserts itself; beneath the simplest profiles lies a passion for clarity, and the vessel’s utility signals trust in better-organized domestic routines. This piece may be integrated into a dining room or living space, complementing minimalist interiors where a restrained palette and raw materials provide an ideal backdrop. Pairing it with simple ceramics, heavy glass or porcelain dinnerware will enhance the cool tonality of the dish. Spaces drawn from Bauhaus or modernist influences—or those with a focus on collectible tableware—will recognize the value in its functional purity. Placed on a wood or stone table, the measured geometry and soft sheen of the lid gain subtle contrast.
