In 1936, Alvar Aalto’s series of glass vases won first prize in the 1936 Karhula-Iittala Glass Design Competition. Compared to the decorative objects of the time, the simple yet organic shape of this vase was a revolutionary statement. Fast forward to today, the organic pattern has been diversified into other shapes including this 8-inch bowl. Inspired by waves (“aalto” in Finnish) in the water, the bowl is a symbol of Finnish design and one of the most famous glass objects in the world. Each and every bowl in the Alvar Aalto Collection continues to be mouth blown at the Iittala factory and comes in a wide range of colors and sizes. The Collection is a staple of modern Scandinavian design and Iittala’s most iconic series.
- Handcrafted.
- Various ways to use the bowl.
