In 1936, Finnish architect and furniture designer Alvar Aalto anonymously entered a competition to design a vase suitable for showing at the Paris World’s Fair. Aalto’s vase, which he sketched out with Crayon on cardboard and scratch paper, became one of the most famous pieces of glass in history. Aalto, coincidentally Finnish for “wave,” created a vase that has free-flowing and natural lines. Also known as the Savoy vase, Aalto’s vase continues to win awards, has residency in famous museums, and is recognized and appreciated in hundreds of countries.
The iittala Aalto grey vase is a smoky grey elegant vase that complements any decor.
Regardless of its constant demand, each vase is still crafted by its original mouth-blown process by Finland’s most skilled glassblowers. Made of lead-free crystal glass and carries "ALVAR AALTO" on bottom for authenticity.
