This monumental vase from the legendary Klokotschnik glassworks is far more than a decorative piece—it's a tactile and visual experience. Crafted in an era where quality knew no compromise, this piece represents the absolute zenith of post-war German luxury production.

Why this object is a valuable investment:

• 30% high-lead crystal: While standard crystal often contains only 24% lead, this masterpiece boasts 30%. The result? Light refraction akin to diamonds and a substantial weight that conveys instant value.

• Solid relief gold decoration: The upper rim isn't simply painted—it's adorned with an opulent, deep gold etching. A magnificent contrast to the cool, clear crystal, which takes on an almost sacred aura under spotlights or candlelight.

• Masterful hand-cut finish: from the deep waffle cut (diamond cut) on the body to the precise star cut on the base – every millimeter has been cut and polished by master craftsmen.

• "Time Capsule" condition: That the original gold label is still present after more than 60 years is nothing short of a miracle. An untouched collector's item in pristine condition.

A statement piece for connoisseurs:
Whether on a mid-century rosewood sideboard or as a sparkling centerpiece in a modern, minimalist penthouse – this vase dominates the room with its sheer presence.
