This glass vase, produced by Walther Glas in Germany in the 1950s, exemplifies the artistry of pressed glass in a deep amber, honey-yellow hue. Standing 20.5 cm tall, its form rests on a substantial, stable base with vertical, elongated panels lending a refined rhythm and balanced proportions. The upper section is encircled by a wide relief band, richly adorned with dancing or festivity scenes in a neoclassical style, accented by gold gilding. The pressed glass technique yields a smooth, lustrous surface, with occasional tiny air bubbles characteristic of mid-century craftsmanship. The decorative frieze is seamlessly integrated with the form, and while the gilding exhibits some gentle wear, its original detail remains apparent. Condition is good: visible minor abrasion of the gold finish and a small manufacturing flaw on the lower rim, representative of authentic 1950s glasswork. This vessel speaks to its era, when classicism and Art Deco motifs converged with the optimism of the post-war 1950s. The relief band, a visual echo of festive gatherings, seems to celebrate a spirit of togetherness and ritual, while the vibrant amber tone evokes the warmth of sunlight captured for everyday ceremonies. The gentle traces of age serve not to diminish its character, but to narrate its journey through decades of attentive use and meaningful display. The vase may be showcased alone upon a dark wooden console or paired with minimalist modern vessels. It would harmonize with accents of gold, brass, or blackened metal, fitting in both Art Deco-inspired interiors and contemporary, eclectic spaces with historic undertones. It can hold a single branch, dried grasses, or stand purely as a sculptural decorative feature, where interplay of light and relief detail enhances the ambience of the living space.
