ABOUT PRODUCTID 16827
This vase, produced by VEB Kunst-Glas Wasungen in East Germany in the 1950s, exemplifies modernist hyalite glass craftsmanship. Measuring 30 cm in height, it features a sculptural form with broad shoulders, a slender waist, and a gently flared mouth.

Subtle gold bands trace the rim, shoulder, and base, evoking an understated art deco influence and accentuating the vessel’s proportional silhouette. An original manufacturer’s signature sticker is preserved on the upper body of the vase. The condition is excellent—its surface remains lustrous and free from any signs of wear or damage.

It presents well among minimalist arrangements: a single branch, white ceramics, or metallic elements will emphasize its
