ABOUT PRODUCTID 23754
This spherical vase by WMF, dating from the 1950s, exemplifies German art glass craftsmanship in the spirit of late Art Deco. Crafted from hand-formed crystal glass, it is mass-colored in a saturated, cool sapphire blue. The hue remains consistent throughout the piece, with a subtle gradient effect visible at the base and opening, where glass thickness and refracted light gently lighten the tone. The vase measures 19 cm in height and diameter. Its surface is smooth and mirror-like, free from decorative patterns, emphasizing the minimalist, geometric form. The opening is precisely cut and finely beveled. The WMF mark confirms its authenticity. The vase is preserved in very good condition, with no damage or traces of use.In its form and color, the vase references the modernist simplicity of the 1950s—a time when pure geometric shapes and bold colors spoke of modernity and postwar optimism. The smooth, spherical shape gathers and softly reflects ambient light; the sapphire depth evokes the tranquility of a lake at dawn. If this vase could speak, it would recall an era when homes were filled with new energy and a desire for harmony, and every detail—no matter how restrained—carried meaning, much like this glass sphere.The vase may be displayed on a console or sideboard in the living room, where it will catch daylight and accentuate the lines of modern furniture. It pairs well with other period glassware—such as clear or ruby accents—as well as with metal elements typical of Art Deco and mid-century modern style. It can be combined with simple, light textiles and geometric ceramics to highlight a minimalist arrangement, or placed in an eclectic collector's interior, where it becomes a distinctive visual focal point.
