Iittala Ultima Thule glass vase, 180 x 192 mm, linen

Iittala’s Ultima Thule vase, with its lively texture and linen hue, creates inviting settings for vibrant flowers as well as more subdued arrangements – the larger vase of the series is perfect for generous bouquets and compositions of several stems. Hand-blown at Iittala Glass Factory in Finland, this linen-colored Ultima Thule glass vase is a special edition and available for a limited time only.

The Ultima Thule vase is part of Iittala’s iconic glassware range created in 1968 by Tapio Wirkkala. The inspiration for the collection was found from the melting spring ice of Northern Finland. Ultima Thule is based on a so-called ice glass technique developed together by Wirkkala and Iittala – the forms imitate nature and gradually change as the molten glass burns the surface of the wooden molds.
