This crystal vase, manufactured by Walha Glas in Germany in the 1950s, is crafted from hand-cut alexandrite glass. The geometric, rectilinear form is defined by vertical lines and precisely beveled edges, reflecting the discipline of mid-century modern aesthetics. The glass is highly transparent, displaying a cool lavender hue with blue undertones, while its smooth, mirror-like finish vividly reflects both light and surroundings. Faceted surfaces create a dynamic interplay of light and shadow, emphasizing the clarity and structure of the form. The craftsmanship is evident in the uniformity of the facets and the sharp definition of each edge. The vase is preserved in very good condition, with no signs of wear, repair, or damage.This piece embodies the spirit of postwar German design, when clarity and order became guiding principles in response to a changing world. Its minimalist silhouette and cool, violet glass evoke a longing for light and openness, while the faceted planes capture sunbeams like sheets of ice, revealing new plays of reflection with every shift in daylight. The precision of the cut and the balanced proportions convey a pursuit of harmony meant to bring freshness and tranquility into interiors of the era.The vase can be displayed solo on a marble console or a wooden sideboard in a spacious living room, where natural light will enhance its lavender tone and transparency. It can be paired with matte ceramics or pastel-colored vessels to underscore a modernist arrangement. Equally at home in classic mid-century modern settings or eclectic interiors, the vase offers striking contrast alongside soft textiles or warm-toned woods.
