WMF Paul Haustein Vase (blue)

Designed by Paul Haustein between 1920 and 1930 this original IKORA vase was made by the distinguished German copper and silver metalware manufacturer WMF (Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik)

The metal vase has a patinated brass body with a beautiful "Tiffany" green finish and is decorated with stylized trailing leaves very much in the style of Asian Art Deco motives popular at the time.

This vase is in exceptionally good condition and is marked and stamped WMF IKORA on the base.

Still producing high quality metal & silverware to this day, WMF is steeped in tradition with history going back 170 years and is probably one of Germany's most recognized brands.  

The German designer Paul Haustein was a "versatile master of decorative arts" and worked prestigious companies like Vereinigte Werkstätten in Munich as well as for WMF. His works are in the collections of the Met and MoMA and at auctions his IKORA designs for WMF continue to be sought after lots.
