Vintage 1950s–60s Charcoal Black Glass Atomic Vase – Mid Century Modern Ribbed Diamond Form

Capture the bold sophistication of midcentury design with this Vintage Charcoal Black Glass Vase, crafted during the 1950s–1960s. Featuring a striking ribbed diamond silhouette and deep smoky black hue, this vase embodies the dramatic atomic age aesthetic. Measuring approximately 5.5 inches tall and 7 inches wide, it’s the perfect statement piece for retro-modern decor, moody floral arrangements, or minimalist styling.

This vase offers a rare blend of geometric precision and dark glamour, easily enhancing a variety of interiors—from vintage Hollywood Regency to contemporary eclectic. Whether styled alone or as part of a curated vignette, this piece exudes cool, understated drama.

Mid-century glass design often embraced strong sculptural lines and daring colors like charcoal, olive, and amber. The “atomic” form—marked by angular and futuristic shapes—became wildly popular in both decor and architecture following the postwar era’s fascination with space exploration and innovation.

Today, pieces like this serve as stunning throwbacks to the optimism and bold style of 1950s–60s America.
