ALVAR ALTO PURPLE & WHITE VASE BY IITTALA

BY CAROLINE MCGRATH

product information

"I would only ask you not to forget to play." Alvar Alto

Inspired by nature, the Alto Vase caused waves when it was presented at the 1937 Paris World Exhibition. It makes a strong statement against the sameness of industrial production, taking a team of seven skilled craftsmen to create, each team member going through years of intense training. Stunning with or without flowers, these iconic pieces will give a lifetime of pleasure to the owner.

The Purple and White Vase is created at Iittala's workshops in Nuutajärvi in Finland. It is made from two layers - a beautiful, clear purple glass wrapped around a delicious, milky coloured glass. The technique is very difficult to master and this makes these Vases extra special. 16cm high.
