Product description
Timeless Elegance: Erich Jachmann's Crystal Glass Vase Duo for WMF In the mid-20th century, the marriage of functionality and artistry in design was exemplified by the exquisite creations of Erich Jachmann for WMF (Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik). This crystal glass vase, conceived by Jachmann around 1960, is a stunning embodiment of mid-century modern aesthetics and masterful craftsmanship. **Design and Craftsmanship** This vase is not merely a vessel but a work of art. The piece showcases the characteristic clarity and purity of mouthblown glass, reflecting WMF's dedication to quality and innovation. The vase's oval-shaped body culminates in a distinct fish-mouth top rim, adding an organic fluidity to its form. The design is further enhanced by the "olive cut" pattern—an intricate arrangement of lines and circular motifs that dance across the surface, catching and refracting light in a mesmerizing display. The craftsmanship speaks volumes about the era's dedication to detail. Standing at 18.5 cm in height and weighing a substantial 2,192 grams, the vase's proportions are both elegant and commanding, making it a focal point in any display. Its decorative potential is undeniable, fitting seamlessly into both contemporary and vintage settings. **The Designer: Erich Jachmann** Erich Jachmann was a renowned German designer who made significant contributions to the world of glassware and metalwork during the mid-20th century. Jachmann's work is characterized by his ability to blend simplicity with sophistication, creating pieces that are both functional and visually captivating. His tenure at WMF, a company already famed for its metalwork, marked a period of innovation and expansion into high-quality glass production. Jachmann's designs, including this vase, are celebrated for their meticulous attention to form and detail, as well as their ability to capture the spirit of the time. His work often reflects the clean lines and minimalist elegance associated with the post-war modernist movement in Europe, where the focus was on creating timeless, utilitarian objects with artistic value. This vase duo is a quintessential example of Jachmann’s design philosophy, which sought to combine practicality with a refined aesthetic. Jachmann’s contributions to WMF during the 1950s and 60s helped establish the brand as a leader in modernist design, particularly in the realm of high-end glassware. His work remains highly regarded by collectors and design enthusiasts for its enduring beauty and craftsmanship. **A Legacy of Design** The piece you see here is one of those rare objects that transcends its original purpose, becoming a collectible that continues to inspire admiration decades after its creation. The vase's condition remains excellent, testament to its craftsmanship and the care it has received over the years. It has been preserved as a "Vitrinenobjekt" (a display object), showcasing minimal signs of age or use. Its timeless design ensures that it remains as relevant and stylish today as it was when first introduced. **Dimensions and Presentation** Olive cut vase - **Height:** 18.5 cm - **Diameter:** 12 cm at its widest point - **Weight:** 2,192 grams Bubble vase - **Height:** 13 cm - **W×T:** 9,5 cm × 6 cm **Final Thoughts** This crystal glass vase by Erich Jachmann is more than just a decorative item; it is a piece of design history.
