This delightful vase by Tapio Wirkkala is called Jäkälä (=lichen) in Finnish and was in production 1950-1964. This design is also known as the "Finger Vase", and was presented and celebrated at the Triennale in Milan 1951.
These items have very nice characteristics and the incredibly silky smooth, velvety surface produced by acid preparation is sensational to touch. This particular vase is a very impressive and fresh looking representative from this group of items. Glass items from this time era at Iittala often contain singular small impurities. This one has very few of those.
In the last photo you see this item together with a cute baby sized vase/bowl of the same series, but made of a glass lot with a different tone.
