A beautiful vintage Onion (Sipuli) art glass sculpture designed by renowned Finnish glass artist Oiva Toikka for Nuutajärvi in the early 1990s.
Part of Toikka's imaginative Vihannekset (Vegetables) collection, the Onion beautifully captures the natural form of its namesake with a rounded, bulbous body that gracefully narrows into an elongated neck.
Delicate lime-green stripes flow vertically across the soft, milky-white glass, following its elegant curves and creating a fresh, organic appearance. The combination of playful form, subtle colours and intricate glasswork reflects Toikka's distinctive and imaginative approach to design.
This example belongs to a limited, numbered edition of 1,000 pieces and is individually signed and numbered 120/1000.
A delightful and collectible example of Finnish art glass, the Onion makes a wonderful decorative piece and a charming addition to any collection of Scandinavian design.
