Topic: Pair of green/grey glass vases - Fifties ID = Wagenfeld for WMF

[goyjus]

Pair of glass vases just over 8in high.

The base is just flat and smooth - lots of scratches.

Any thoughts/opinions/feedback hugely appreciated.

Hi,
They look quite WMF to me...  I hope someone more knowledgable will be able to help.  :hi:

Wow. You're right. Thank you so much. I just googles WMF glass and up it popped on page 3. There's one for sale on ebay right now.

Anik´s right - WMF, designed by Wilhelm Wagenfeld. If you give us the exact dimensions,
I´ll be able to look up the year and catalogue of works number for you.

Thanks Dirk. What do you need apart from the height? TIA

[dirk.]

From the dimensions (height/width) I´d say they are ca. 20cm / 8" tall and should be WVZ
(abbr. for Werkverzeichnis = catalogue of works) 445, designed in 1951.
If these dimensions shouldn´t match, just let me know the height, please.
They can vary by quite a few mm BTW.
The glassworks´ name for this colour is ´turmaline´.
Cheers,
Dirk

Hi Dirk. That sounds just right for them. They are just shy of 8in/20cms, so that all fits. Many thanks for the design date and colour range.

Cheers

I also agree - WMF / Wagenfeld.
