TAPIO WIRKKALA designed this elegant vase called ’Minerva’ for IITTALA Glassworks in 1975.  It is a heavy, superbly crafted vase made of thick, transparent, textured art glass and was in production from 1976 to 1999. Wirkkala’s work was inspired by the powerful shapes and textures of the natural phenomena found in his Finnish surroundings, such as icebergs and melting ice, rock and crystal formations, and the anatomy of trees. This vase, from 1979, mimics the texture of melting ice. With intricately detailed vertical ridges and irregular surfaces, the piece is clearly in the Scandinavian modern aesthetic: its design is minimalist and elegant and, at the same time, the vase makes a bold statement. The blown art glass is highly polished, which plays with light and shadows and gives off dazzling refractions and reflections. The vase exemplifies Tapio Wirkkala’s virtuosity for designing functional/utilitarian pieces that are exquisitely artistic, organic, and nature-inspired. It is a stunning vessel for floral bouquets or branches with berries or blossoms, but being a stunning, sculptural art glass decoration—it stands perfectly well on its own. 

MEASUREMENTS:: The vase is 17 cm high, 10 cm wide, and weights 740 g.

CONDITION: It is in fine vintage condition—with no chips, cracks, or repairs, only minor traces of use and age.

MARKS: The artist’s initials, TW, are acid-etched on the bottom of the vase..  

SHIPPING: The vase will be carefully wrapped and boxed and sent with a track and trace code. 

TAPIO WIRKKALA (1915-1985) rose to world fame in the early 1950s following the breakthrough of Finnish industrial design at the triennial Milan fairs of 1951 and 1954—at which Wirkkala won three gold medals. He was an exceptionally versatile artist who was not held back in any design project by challenges of scale, materials, or conventions. Wirkkala was a sculptor and designer who became best known as a glass artist, though his artistry ranged from postage stamps to drinking glasses, from furniture to domestic appliances, from a full-sized landscape memorial to a futuristic cityscape. The sources of inspiration for Wirkkala’s work were the powerful shapes of natural phenomena, where form and function merge. Form and shape were not simply an aesthetic goal or intellectual perception for him—rather they were born from the fusion of thinking, reflecting, seeing, and handcrafting. Tapio Wirkkala was one the leading figures of mid-century modern Scandinavian design.

IITTALA is a global Finnish design brand that is renowned for its exceptional glassware and dinnerware collections. Established in 1881, Iittala has a rich history of producing exquisitely crafted products that seamlessly blend art and function. Iittalas glass artists and the timeless appeal of their collections are a testament to Finnish/Scandinavian/Nordic art glass design excellence.
