This blue vase from France, dating to the 1950s, is a refined example of mid-century modern glassmaking. Crafted from thick, cased glass in a vivid, cool-toned blue, it features a smooth, glossy surface that catches and reflects light, emphasizing the purity of its color. The silhouette is slender and balanced: gently widening shoulders flow into a long, narrow neck, ending in a wide, trumpet-shaped mouth. The base subtly flares for stability. The vase is free of decorative embellishments or textures, echoing the minimalist aesthetic of the mid-century era, which prized simplicity of line and harmonious proportions. There are no visible signs of wear or restoration — preserved in very good condition. This piece quietly channels the spirit of French modernism, which in the 1950s sought beauty in pure form and saturated color. Its blue surface recalls calm mornings along the Seine, when light plays across the water and interiors are transformed by a single, thoughtfully chosen object. The vase seems to capture the clarity and crispness of the era’s atmosphere, when glass was designed to be both utilitarian and subtly sculptural. The vase may serve as a soloist atop a sideboard or shelf, where its striking color will provide a focal point in the room. It pairs well with light wooden furniture or neutral ceramics, enhancing mid-century modern or contemporary minimalist spaces. It can be displayed with a single stem, such as eucalyptus, or left empty to highlight the purity of its form and the interplay of light on glass. Dimensions: height 24 cm, diameter 10 cm. Made of thick, cased, colored glass; surface is smooth and glossy. Weight approximately 1 kg. Requires only gentle cleaning with a soft cloth to maintain its shine.
