ABOUT PRODUCTID 14774
This art glass vase by VEB Kunst Glas Wasungen, Germany, embodies 1960s craftsmanship inspired by the space age movement. The cylindrical body, 20 cm tall with an 8 cm diameter, was shaped from cool-toned, semi-transparent green glass that provides a luminous, even depth of color. Its polished, gleaming surface allows light to play across the form. A wide band with white, geometric decoration encircles the middle: intersecting circles create stylized flower or star shapes, set against a finely grained, textured background which contrasts with the vase’s glossy exterior. The vase features a weighty, softly rounded base that rises seamlessly into its slender trunk, while the edges and joints display precise, careful workmanship. The vase is preserved in very good condition – with only the most minor signs of age visible upon close, detailed inspection. The form and design give voice to an era of optimism and fascination with progress, when decorative arts spoke the language of a futuristic new age. The reflective glass conjures the 1960s enthusiasm for technology, and the white geometric motifs embedded in green allude to a fascination with space travel and abstract geometry – hallmarks of the period’s applied art experiments. This vase can be placed on an oak coffee table or a low walnut sideboard to highlight the freshness of its glass. It works beautifully alone, holding a single minimalist branch, or grouped with other 1960s glassware or simply shaped ceramics. It would harmonize within a mid-century modern, Scandinavian, or collectors’ vintage interior; pairing it with neutral textiles or a lamp of geometric silhouette would reinforce the space-age atmosphere while letting the artful texture of the glass remain the focal point.
