This crystal vase from the 1950s, attributed to Walha Glas (Germany), is crafted from hand-faceted Alexandrite crystal glass known for its subtle color-shifting effect, ranging from pale violet to delicate blue depending on the angle of the light. The tall, geometric prismatic form, sharply defined edges, and distinct faceting capture the essence of mid-century modern aesthetics. The glass is highly polished and lustrous, with thick walls and smooth transitions between facets reflecting skilled craftsmanship. The proportions are carefully balanced—a narrow base gradually widens toward the top, emphasizing the vase's dynamic interplay of color. There are no visible chips, cracks, or damage; only minimal, barely perceptible signs of use. Condition: very good, with no significant defects.The vase quietly evokes the spirit of the 1950s, a time when fascination with light and color merged with modern craftsmanship. Alexandrite glass, as changeable as the morning sky, tells of an era that valued clarity and formal experimentation. Each turn of the vessel reveals a new shade, as if the vase were capturing fleeting light, while the sharp facets and prismatic silhouette suggest that ornamentation can arise from structure itself, not from added embellishment.For arrangement, the vase can be placed on a low walnut console or a glass surface, where the interplay of light and shifting hues can be fully appreciated. It pairs well with simple ceramic forms or a single eucalyptus branch that will not compete with the subtle colors of the glass. Interiors in the mid-century modern, minimalist, or collector’s style provide a natural context; it can also be combined with matte textiles or metallic accents to highlight the refined coolness of the material.
