ABOUT PRODUCTID 31452
This Sommerso glass vase from the Schott Zwiesel Amazonas series, produced in Germany in the 1960s/70s, embodies the mid-century modern and minimalist aesthetics of its era. The vase features a tall, slender rectangular body with softly rounded edges and a gently concave rim, emphasizing the geometric clarity typical of German glass from the period.

The surface is smooth and glassy, with visible air bubbles and subtle textural variations attesting to its handcrafted origin. The proportions—20.5 cm tall and 5 cm wide—lend the vase a refined, vertical presence, while the original manufacturer’s label on the base confirms its authenticity. The vase is preserved in very good condition, with no visible damage, chips, or cracks, and only minimal signs of age.Layers of green and clear glass seem to hold a fragment of light from decades past.

It works well as a single accent on a windowsill or shelf in the living room, where natural light can highlight the depth of the green core. For an understated contrast, it is
