WMF Erich Bachmann Green & Black Swirled Glass Vase, 1960s
Elegant hand-blown glass vase designed by Erich Bachmann for WMF in the 1960s. The piece features a vivid emerald green body encircled by bold black swirled banding, tapering gracefully to a narrower base with a flared rim. Its polished pontil bottom confirms hand-crafted production, and the striking interplay of color and form reflects Bachmann’s celebrated “wave optics” designs for WMF.
Weighing 1.5 lbs, this mid-century modernist vase embodies the refined aesthetic of German postwar glassmaking. Collectible both as a design object and as a decorative accent, it stands as a strong example of WMF’s innovative approach to art glass. Comparable examples of Bachmann’s work are held in private and public collections and remain sought after on the secondary market.
