iittala Alvar Aalto Finlandia Vase White

The most important Finnish architect of the 20th century, ALVAR AALTO (1898-1976) was a central figure in international modernism. His greatest buildings fused the naturalism of Finnish romanticism with modernist ideals: as did his influential furniture and glassware.

Named after Finlandia Hall, one of Alvar Aalto's most famous buildings, the Finlandia collection features taller, more narrow vases, with more circular features to the design itself.

Celebrating the contours of the original Aalto vase, the Finlandia vase stands significantly taller, accentuating its well-known curves. This highly collectible series are mouth-blown by skilled artisans and are hand-finished lead-free crystal. For authenticity the "ALVAR AALTO" name is on the bottom of the vase.
