This is a rather new piece of the classic white 160mm Aalto vase, in excellent condition.
It bears an Iittala sticker of the type that was in use from 2001 onwards, and the vase is signed with laser writing.
The Aalto vase designed by famous architect Alvar Aalto is an icon of Finnish design. The first versions of it was presented in 1936 and these vases got much attention at the Paris World Fair in 1937. Since then the Aalto vase has in many different sizes and versions conquered the hearts of many generations world wide, and it has been produced in numerous different colors and color variants.
The elegantly folding glass is a perfect example of Alvar Aalto's free flowing imagination.
The last two pictures show this vase together with a white-green duo vase of the 2006 jubilee collection and a white vintage vase from the -90s.
The Aalto vases are still today mouth blown into a mold at the Iittala glass factory in Finland. The production of one vase goes through 12 work stages. Every single Aalto vase is hand made.
