Iittala Alvar Aalto Collection Vase

To preserve the clarity and integrity of the glass, we recommend hand washing this vase with mild soap and warm water. Avoid using a dishwasher, as the high heat and harsh detergents can damage the delicate mouthblown glass over time.

This is the smaller version of the collection, measuring 9.5 cm in height and 11.4 cm in length. It is a compact, decorative size ideal for a small bouquet, a single stem, or as a standalone sculptural object on a shelf or desk.

Because each piece is mouthblown and handcrafted at the Iittala Glass Factory, there may be very slight variations in the glass. These subtle differences are a hallmark of the artisanal process and ensure that your vase is a unique piece of design.

The iconic, fluid silhouette was designed by Alvar Aalto and is inspired by the thousands of lakes found in the Finnish landscape. It is intended to mimic the organic, non-symmetrical movement of water, moving away from traditional rigid geometric forms.

Yes, it is fully functional as a vase. While it serves as a beautiful sculptural piece on its own, it is designed to hold water and fresh flowers securely.
