iittala Aalto "1937 Clear" Vase - 7"

In 1936, when iittala Aalto Vases were first designed, the sand used to make glass wasn't as pure as the sand which iittala uses today. That's why one of the original colors used for Aalto vases had a light green shade, a color which is referred to as "1937 clear" today. Part of the original Aalto (Savoy) vase collection, this smaller iittala Aalto Vase simplifies the original design for the ultimate modern and sleek look. The fluid lines of Alvar Aalto's 1930's design are left untouched, still beautifully representing Aalto's design style. Each iittala Aalto vase is mouth-blown by glass masters at the iittala glass factory in Finland - each vase representing true glass expertise. The clear glass will highlight a single flower or small seasonal bouquet; Aalto designed the functional art so that the end user could determine its purpose. Packaged in an iittala gift box.
