ABOUT PRODUCTID 14013
Produced by VEB in 1950s Germany, this vase exemplifies the mid-century modern spirit through its focus on material, geometry, and craftsmanship. The deep cobalt blue overlay glass is sharply contrasted by clear, transparent segments forming a bold grid-like pattern. The shape is a near-spherical form, balanced and visually weighty, defined by deep, precision-cut facets which emphasize both the density and clarity of the glass. The surface is highly polished and reflective, transitioning smoothly between the saturated blue and exposed clear glass at each geometric cut. There are no visible signs of damage or wear; the vase remains in excellent original condition and embodies the authentic quality of German postwar glassmaking.This vase tells its story through geometry and light, in the language of mid-century European designers. The vibrant cobalt color echoes the modernist avant-garde, while the clear glass windows play with both transparency and depth. The intersecting cuts seem to capture a fleeting play of reflections, as if freezing the movement of light across a glass façade. It is a piece that could sit comfortably in the company of collector’s objects or on a clean-lined sideboard, perfectly at ease within the tradition of German art glass.In interiors, the vase works well as a standalone accent on a light wood sideboard or a mid-century modern credenza, where its geometric patterns stand out against simple surroundings. It may be paired with matte ceramics or other glassware from the era to create a conversation between textures and hues. For a refined effect, combine the saturated cobalt shade with neutral backgrounds—white, grey, or oak—allowing both its vivid color and crystalline clarity to take center stage.
