Freeform Satin Glass Vase – Peill & Putzler, 1970s–1980s

Large West German art-glass vase by Peill & Putzler, with an asymmetrical freeform silhouette and thick walls. Its acid-etched satin finish softens the transparent glass, giving the surface a frosted, ice-like appearance.

Peill & Putzler was a leading German glassmaker formed in Düren in 1947 through the merger of Peill & Sohn, founded in 1903, and the Putzler glassworks. Known for modern lighting and art glass, the company worked with designers including Wilhelm Wagenfeld, Wilhelm Braun-Feldweg and Helmut Demary.
