Today at the auction I have the pleasure to present to you

The vase gained enormous fame after it was presented at the World’s Fair in Paris in 1937.
The version shown in the photo is made of white opal glass (double-layer). Each original vase of this brand is traditionally hand-blown in a glassworks in Finland
