On offer are two ‘Pinus’ (pine) art glass vases designed by Tapio Wirkkala’s for IITTALA Glassworks (Finland). They are a heavy, superbly crafted vases made of thick, transparent, textured art glass that imitates the rugged shape and feel of nature. Tapio Wirkkala was inspired by the powerful shapes of natural phenomena such as the bark of trees and melting ice of his Finnish surroundings. These vases, from the 1970s, evoke the texture of pine bark, though the undulating ice formations are also present. The pieces are heavy and display intricate detailed lines of vertical ridges and irregular surfaces, suggesting the will and volatility of nature, and are clearly in the Scandinavian / Nordic aesthetic, with their minimalist, elegant design. The vases are luminous with the clear, blown glass giving off light refractions and reflections, which in turn, give the vases a sense of momentum. Indeed, these pieces exemplify Tapio Wirkkala’s unparalleled ability to design functional/utilitarian pieces that are exquisitely artistic, organic and nature-inspired. The ‘PINUS’ vase is highly pursued by art glass collectors around the world. 

MEASUREMENTS: 16.5 cm high, 11 cm wide and 12 cm deep.

CONDITION: I would say one vase is in excellent condition and the other is in very good condition, with both showing some minor/normal signs of age and wear. One vase has a tiny chip measuring O.5 cm wide and not deep (see photos 15 and 16) and some rough spots around the rim (photo 17), though these are microscopic and barely noticeable — you really have to be looking for these. The second one is near perfect, with a few rough spots when you run your fingertip around the rim, though these may be slight defects that occurred during the production process. Otherwise the vases are clear and clean without scratches, cracks or repairs.

MAKER’S MARKS: The designer’s initials — TW — are etched on the underside. 

TRANSPORT: The vases will be very carefully wrapped and boxed, and shipped with a tracking code.

TAPIO WIRKKALA (1915-1985) was one Finland’s leading artists and designers of the 20th century. He was part of the Nordic design tradition aiming for clarity in shape that was timeless, organic, and as ‘cool’ as Scandinavian nature. He studied at the University of Art and Design in Helsinki and worked for many decades for Iittala, Rosenthal and Murano — among others. He is best known for his art glass pieces and created many iconic design pieces, and collections, such as Bolle, Kantarelli, Avena, Pinus, and Ultima Thul. 

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