đ” A striking statement in Nordic design, this cobalt blue art glass vase by Tapio Wirkkala captures the elegance of 1960s Scandinavian modernism. Hand-blown for Iittala, the piece features a cylindrical cobalt body balanced on a clear, weighty footâperfect as a display accent or as a refined vessel for tall floral stems. Its architectural silhouette and bold hue bring depth and sophistication to any interior.
Item is in very good vintage/used condition. There is some wear on the bottom from its movement along the tabletop and a small production flaw on the flared portion. Please see all of the photos and video. đ”
âHistory Behind The Pieceâ Founded in 1881, Iittala became synonymous with Finnish modernist glassmaking, producing timeless works that balance utility with artistry. Tapio Wirkkala (1915â1985), one of Finlandâs most celebrated designers, joined Iittala in the mid-20th century and created iconic glass forms that distilled light, colour, and proportion into sculptural clarity. His 1960s designs, such as this model no. 3581, remain sought after for their enduring blend of simplicity and innovation.
