Design and Craftsmanship:
Kurt Wokan, a prominent figure in mid-century design, was known for his innovative and timeless pieces. His collaboration with Ingrid Glas resulted in the creation of these exquisite vases, which are both functional and decorative. The use of Eisglas, with its textured surface reminiscent of ice, adds depth and character to the bold blue color, making these vases true statement pieces.
Manufacturer Legacy:
The brand “Ingrid,” originally introduced by Curt Schlevogt in Gablonz, was continued after 1945 by various Czech glassworks and later in the 1970s by Glashütte Kurt Wokan in Schneegattern, Upper Austria. The crystal objects from this era, like these vases, often bear the label “Ingrid-Glas” or “Ingrid Kristall” and are marked with the engraving “IG” and the model number on the underside. However, the similarity in brand names did not indicate any connection between the companies.
Conclusion:
This vintage vase quartet is more than just decorative objects; they are a testament to the enduring allure of mid-century design. Whether you are a collector of fine glassware or simply someone with an appreciation for vintage aesthetics, these vases are a must-have. Their limited availability only adds to their appeal, so don’t miss the chance to own this exceptional piece of design history. Elevate your space with these striking blue vases and enjoy the timeless beauty they bring.
