Iittala’s Aalto vase is a veritable icon of Finnish design and glass art, continually enchanting fans of Nordic design with its organic, ambiguous form. Created by the legendary designer and architect Alvar Aalto, the vase was introduced to the international public in different sizes and colours at the World Fair in Paris in 1937. Also known as the Savoy vase, it has since become one of the most famous glass objects in the entire world.
The Aalto vase is hand-crafted and mouth-blown at the Iittala glassworks in Finland. Each vase is individually crafted, cut from the glass mass and then finished by hand to achieve its final shape. This small, linen-coloured vase has been produced in a limited edition only.
