AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Vintage Iittala Aalto Opal White Maljakko medium-sized vase is a Finnish classic designed in 1936 by Alvar Aalto. Each vase handmade by the skilled glassblowers of the Iittala glass factory. Iittala's Aalto vase is known as a Finnish design and glass art classic, captivating with its organic and ambiguous form.
The manufacturing technique follows the original method; the vase is mouth-blown into a wooden mold. This gives the vase a softer shape due to its characteristic design.
The iconic design is inspired by the Finnish landscape from its youth, and it is both functional and sculptural. The vase bears the original sticker and is signed on the bottom.
• There are no fewer than 7 skilled craftsmen, 12 production stages, 1100 degrees Celsius, and 30 hours required to guide one Aalto vase through all the production steps.
Dimensions: L 154 mm x W 150 mm x H 120 mm (Medium size)
Weight: 576 grams
This vintage piece bears the original Iittala sticker and is signed on the bottom; it is in excellent undamaged condition with no defects. It will be securely packed and shipped by registered mail with tracking and insurance.
