ABOUT PRODUCTID 31180
The 'Lord Nelson' vase by Ingrid Glashütte is a quintessential example of German glass design from the 1960s, rooted in the mid-century modern tradition. Crafted from patented Ingridkristall crystal glass, it combines a deep, saturated burgundy hue in the upper section with a massive, clear base featuring organic, ice-like reliefs that refract the light with striking effect. The vase’s slender, flared silhouette rises from a thick, sculptural foundation; its harmonious proportions, smooth geometric lines, and glossy, polished surface underscore both the quality of the material and the period’s minimalist approach. The interplay between color and transparency is subtle yet pronounced, characteristic of its era. The vase is in very good condition, with no chips or cracks; only minor, natural micro-scratches on the underside of the base, typical for genuine vintage pieces, are visible.This object carries the voice of 1960s German modernism: pure form, an intriguing play of light and weight, and a refined balance between color and clarity. Its flute-like shape suggests the promise of a gentle note — the burgundy glass evokes the atmosphere of bygone salons, where every detail held significance. The vase seems to narrate a fascination with technical precision and the understated elegance of daily objects, from a time when glass transcended function to become a hallmark of contemporary aesthetics.The 'Lord Nelson' vase can be displayed on a light wood or marble console, where the interplay of light on its sculpted base reveals its artistic pedigree. It works well as a solitary accent in a modernist arrangement, paired with geometric sculptures, minimalist ceramics, or alongside books on 1960s design. Interiors inspired by mid-century modern or classic minimalism will highlight its elegance, yet its timeless character allows it to be freely combined with more eclectic compositions as well.
