This photo frame, handcrafted by the German glassworks Wiesenthalhutte in the 1970s, is a substantial object made entirely of transparent glass. Its monolithic construction, free from visible seams or joints, features a geometric, rectangular silhouette with gently rounded corners—a hallmark of mid-century modern design. The glass displays subtle variations in translucency, achieved through artisanal processes, and is adorned with a fine, linear ribbed texture running both vertically and horizontally. The surface combines a semi-matte finish with areas of gentle gloss along the raised edges, while the central section has a frosted, almost etched appearance. Designed to fit a 6 × 8 cm photograph, the frame bears the original 'Wiesenthalhutte Design in Glas' label on the front, attesting to its authenticity. The condition is excellent, with no visible signs of wear, chips, or damage.The frame embodies the voice of 1970s German craftsmanship: the weight of glass in the hand, the clarity, and the pronounced lines evoke an era when simplicity and solidity defined a new aesthetic. Each detail—from the way light passes through its textured surface to the interplay of vertical and horizontal grooves—tells a story of seeking timeless form without superfluous ornamentation. This is an object that seems destined to witness family rituals, treasured photographs passed down through generations, and moments forever preserved within glass.The frame would be well suited to a minimalist sideboard or bookshelf, where it can stand out against both light and dark surfaces. It can be paired with other mid-century objects—a ceramic figurine, a geometric lamp, or a wooden box—to highlight its modernist heritage. Interiors styled in mid-century modern, collector’s studies, or subdued living rooms will benefit from its presence as a distinctive yet understated
