Description

Lovely Iittala Avena art glass vase designed by Tapio Wirkkala.

Vase design no 3429, crystal content glass

It has an irregular jagged ice/bark/ripple surface texture with narrow foot and tapering to wider top.

Finnish art glass, Scandinavian.

Handmade, blown into a mould and hand finished.

It’s a 1970’s design and I think this is an older version.

It is fully hand-signed to the base “TAPIO WIRKKALA 3429”.

Good condition.

Three small nibbles to the rim – the two closer together have had an attempt at being rubbed down/repaired, leaving the rim matt for this one inch section.

See all photos.

Would hold about a dozen stems if used.

7″ tall, 7.5 x 6.5cm rim
