ABOUT PRODUCTID 12747
This 1950s vase, made from double-layered glass in a deep cobalt hue, is attributed to German post-war design from the VEB workshops. Its construction is based on a symmetrical, cylindrical body gently tapering at the base, accented with large, high-gloss polished oval and round facets distributed evenly across the surface. These create transparent “windows” within the cobalt glass mass, allowing light to pass through and amplify the interplay of color and transparency. The vase features a cool, saturated blue tone with no additional contrasting colors; all decoration is subordinated to the geometric rhythm of the cut, in line with the mid-century modern style. The vase shows no signs of wear, chips, or restoration – the glass remains pristine, smooth, and glossy, emphasizing its original authenticity and excellent preservation.The concept of this vase reflects a time of dynamic transformation in German utilitarian design, when an emphasis on simplicity of form converged with bold coloration and precise glass craftsmanship. The cobalt glass stands as a testament to the ambition of its era – meant to let light become the star of the arrangement, while the cut “windows” shift their effect depending on movement and changing illumination. Ornamentation is absent, giving way instead to a starkly modern narrative about light and color so typical of 1950s Central European modernism.The vase may be displayed solo on a light wood or marble surface, allowing the saturated cobalt glass to gain graphic contrast and depth. In interiors inspired by mid-century modern, it can be paired with milky-glazed ceramics or simple shapes in natural shades of beige, gray, or olive – the geometric facets will underscore the compositional cohesion.
