iittala Ultima Thule Cordial 4pc Gift Set

Cheers! This set of four shot-sized cordial glasses are the perfect way to celebrate the new year. Boxed, the timeless set makes a wonderful gift or addition to your own bar. The enchantment of the icy Ulthima Thule glassware is undiminished even in the smallest form. The outside texture, weighted bottom, and three feet make the glass steady and artful. In literature, Ultima Thule is used to reference the furthest possible place in the world. Tapio Wirkkala's 1968 Ultima Thule glassware similarly references the icy cold reaches of Scandinavia and the distinct expressive power of Finnish glass. The unique texture of the glass is created by a time-laboring technique that is created by the molten glass burning the surface of the wooden moulds.
