An icon of European modernist design—a glass vase from the *Turmalin* series, designed in the 1950s by the renowned Bauhaus designer Wilhelm Wagenfeld for the German manufacturer WMF (Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik). The vase features a remarkably simple, organic, and slightly flattened form, reminiscent of a tall river stone or a droplet with rounded edges. It is crafted from thick, high-quality glass, mass-colored in a deep, elegant shade of sea-green/tourmaline that filters and refracts light beautifully. Its minimalist opening, which tapers towards the top, perfectly showcases single stems or understated floral arrangements. This is a rare and highly sought-after piece of art glass with a timeless silhouette—a must-have for enthusiasts of mid-century modern style, Bauhaus design, and Scandinavian minimalism.
