ABOUT PRODUCTID 10608
The Carola vase is a design by Fritz Keuchel, produced in 1968 by VEB Schwepnitz in Germany. Crafted from pressed glass colored in a deep olive green, its satin-matte surface gently diffuses light and gives the piece a subdued sheen. The slender silhouette—narrow at the 4 cm base, subtly widening through the body, and tapering into a long neck—is finished with a distinctively angled 3 cm mouth. The vase is marked by horizontal ribbing that creates a rhythmic, geometric texture, emphasizing its modernist heritage. With no additional ornamentation or decoration, the piece embodies the purity of form typical of mid-century modern design. It is preserved in very good condition, showing no signs of damage or wear. The Carola vase tells a story of 1960s German aesthetics, when glassware became a medium for exploring modern formal ideas beyond mere utility. Its matte surface evokes misty mornings, while the rhythmic grooves echo the optimism of the postwar era. The minimalist form suggests that less is more, existing at the intersection of sculpture and everyday object, and carrying the spirit of modernist spatial thinking. The vase may be displayed solo on an oak console or marble tabletop, where its olive green hue highlights the depth of natural materials. It works as an accent in mid-century modern interiors, placed alongside simple wooden furnishings and raw ceramics. Pairing it with a single branch or minimalist bouquet allows its geometric structure to remain at the forefront. It is equally suitable for contemporary, muted spaces, where it serves as a subtle yet distinctive detail.
