This German crystal vase, crafted circa 1950, exemplifies the modernist mid-century aesthetic. Made from high-quality, transparent crystal glass in an exceptionally light, cool olive green hue, it features a faceted, polygonal form with sharp, well-defined edges and a slightly irregular, hand-cut silhouette. The proportions are harmonious: a wide, stable base transitions smoothly into a gently tapering body. The glass surface is smooth and glossy, with crisp transitions between facets that emphasize its clarity and brilliance. There are no additional decorations or embellishments, allowing the geometric purity of the design to stand out. The vase is preserved in very good condition, free from visible scratches, chips, or signs of wear.The form and material evoke the spirit of 1950s German design, when a pursuit of simplicity and functionality was paired with a fascination for light and the essence of the material itself. Through its transparent glass and balanced proportions, the vase conveys the optimism of the postwar era—appearing to gather and scatter light, as if collecting memories from passing decades. The faceted planes come alive with every shift of sunlight, casting a subtle play of reflections and shadows on the olive surface—an understated tribute to material appreciation and attention to detail.Within an interior, this Walha Glas vase can be placed on a light wood or marble console, showcasing its color and the craftsmanship of its hand-cut facets. It works well as a standalone accent in a modern living room with a muted palette, surrounded by minimalist graphics or small ceramic forms. The vase may be paired with other mid-century glass objects, or contrasted with matte surfaces to highlight its brilliance and crystalline clarity. Leaving it empty or with a single delicate branch allows the austere elegance of its form to fully resonate.
