Blue and clear blown glass vase by Vera Walther - Germany, 1980s

A blown glass vase made by the German glassworks Vera Walther , dating from the 1980s , a pivotal period in the revival of studio art glass in Germany . This piece features a deep blue abstract design applied directly to the clear glass, creating a fluid interplay of contrasts, movement, and light.

The elegant, gently curved shape with its flared neck showcases the craftsmanship of the hand-blown glass, enriched with the fine air bubbles characteristic of studio production. The organic, almost vegetal decoration lends this vase a beautiful sculptural and decorative presence, while maintaining a sense of understated elegance.

Trained as a glass painter and later as a master craftswoman in Hadamar, Vera Walther turned to glass as her preferred means of expression from a very young age. After a career as a designer for the glass industry, she began developing her own artistic practice in the early 1980s to preserve the creative freedom absent from mass production. Her work is based on experimentation, blending traditional techniques with empirical research, with a predilection for natural and abstract motifs. Her pieces are often produced in small series or as unique works.

An ideal vase for lovers of German art glass , 80s design and studio glass , both for collecting and contemporary decoration.
