ABOUT PRODUCTID 32031
The 'On the Rocks' vase by Walther Glass is a striking example of German pressed glassware from the early 1970s. Designed in 1972, its form combines a geometric, rectangular body softened by rounded edges and pronounced, bubble-like protrusions on the front and back. The clear, colorless glass has a cool, neutral tone and high transparency, contrasted by a frosted, matte surface interspersed with glossy, smooth circular accents. The short, cylindrical neck ends in a gently flared rim, also textured. The substantial thickness of the molded glass and distinctive decorative motifs firmly place this vase within the aesthetics of mid-century modern and brutalist design, emphasizing bold form and tactile surface. The piece is preserved in excellent condition, with only minimal signs of use characteristic of authentic vintage objects. This vase evokes the spirit of an era where modernist geometry met natural inspiration and material experimentation. Its surface, at times smooth like ice, at others rough and frosted, conjures images of crisp mornings and shimmering droplets on glass. The raised motifs resembling ice cubes or water bubbles add a fresh, almost sculptural accent—as if the glass has captured the moment just after a wave breaks. Both its form and weight speak in the language of the 1970s: assertive, experimental, and unafraid of strong visual statements, yet free from unnecessary ornamentation. The 'On the Rocks' vase can be paired with simple mid-century modern furniture or with more contemporary pieces featuring raw textures. It works well as a standalone statement on an oak table or console, where light will enhance the interplay between matte and glossy surfaces. It may be combined with minimalist ceramics, graphite glass, or a single branch to highlight its sculptural character. Eclectic and collector-oriented interiors will also benefit from its presence—especially among raw concrete, natural
