Gunnel Nyman for Nuutajärvi Notsjö - Heavy 'Huntu' (Veil) / Mussel Glass Art-Glass Vase - model GN-17 - Finland, circa 1950
A stunning and iconic Scandinavian design classic: a thick-walled crystal art-glass vase called "Huntu" (Veil) or "Mussel Glass," model GN-17. This masterpiece was designed in 1947 by the legendary Finnish glass designer Gunnel Nyman (1909–1948) and manufactured in the 1950s by the renowned Nuutajärvi Notsjö glassworks.
The vase has a beautiful, warm amber/honey color and features a perfectly controlled pattern of trapped air bubbles (controlled bubbles). This effect was created by hand in the glass furnace using a nail mold, making each piece unique.
What makes this vase especially remarkable is its exceptionally heavy, solid quality. At a height of 13.5 cm, the vase weighs no less than 2.2 kilos. This is characteristic of the high-quality crystal production from the heyday of Finnish Mid-Century Modern design.
