The Story
In modern 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 footed highball has textured sides, achieved by a time-laboring technique that is created by the molten glass burning the surface of the wooden moulds.
