ABOUT PRODUCTID 13993
This cobalt blue glass vase by VEB was made in Germany in the 1950s, during the flourishing of mid-century modern aesthetics and architectural brutalism. The body consists of double-layered glass: a deep, cool cobalt hue forms the outer layer at the top and appears as accents throughout the vase’s geometric structure, fading smoothly into clear glass. The glossy finish enhances the vase’s crystal clarity and emphasizes a precise pattern of rectangular vertical and horizontal facets, arranged with the discipline of modernist architectural modules. Its form is a compact cylinder with balanced proportions, and every edge has been finely cut and polished. No visible traces of use, damage, or restoration are present — the vase remains in excellent, collector-grade condition with all original detail and brilliance intact.The texture of the glass brings to mind the crisp rigor of the 1950s, when interiors pursued modernity through simplicity and bold contrasts. The interplay between deep cobalt and transparency suggests a dialogue between stability and weightlessness. The grid of deep, cut facets evokes a sense of architectural construction: the patterned surface is dynamic, reflecting light unpredictably and giving each angle a unique rhythm. The vase might tell a story of postwar clarity and optimism — the belief that detail and craftsmanship establish the true spirit of a room.This piece could be displayed solo on a long mahogany or walnut sideboard,
