Product description
**Textured Glass Elegance — “Patmos” Vase by Peill & Putzler, Germany, ca. 1970s**
**Organic Form in Satin Ice Glass | H 16 cm**
Evoking the serene austerity of windswept cliffs and sea-worn rock formations, this rare **“Patmos”** vase by **Peill & Putzler** captures the tactile poetry of nature frozen in glass.
Crafted in the 1970s by one of West Germany’s most respected glassmakers, this mouth-blown vessel is rendered in **translucent frosted glass** with a compelling texture that combines rough volcanic surfaces with tree bark and coral-like detail. The upper part is subtly smoother, allowing light to diffuse in gentle ripples — an interplay of opacity and translucence that elevates this object from décor to sculpture.

**About the Maker:**
Founded in Düren in the 19th century and revitalized postwar, **Peill & Putzler** earned international acclaim throughout the 1950s–70s for its innovative lighting and glass objects. The *Patmos* series stands out for its biomorphic forms and bold surface treatment — a reflection of Brutalist sensibilities interpreted through the refined medium of studio glass.
**Styling Notes:**
Whether used as a vase, a votive, or a standalone sculptural piece, this object speaks to the refined minimalism of mid-century modern interiors, as well as to contemporary Brutalist revivalism. Its scale — intimate yet substantial — makes it a perfect statement on a shelf, sideboard, or set in dialogue with matte ceramics or smooth stone.
