Design attributed to Horst Tünselmann for Peill & Putzler, Germany, 1960s.

The vase features an abstract, sculptural relief decoration characterized by softly modeled, organic forms. Depending on the light, the decoration creates a strong sense of depth and emphasizes the sculptural nature of the object.

Made of alexandrite glass, which, due to the addition of rare earth elements, changes color depending on the light source and viewing angle. This results in iridescent hues ranging from light blue and light green to shades of pink and lilac.

Condition: Very good, with only minimal signs of age-related wear. No chips, cracks, or breaks.
