ABOUT PRODUCTID 27407
This set of five drinking glasses, designed by Tapio Wirkkala for the Finnish manufacturer Iittala in 1956, is a quintessential example of mid-century modern glassware. Each glass is crafted from hand-blown colored glass, featuring a smooth, patternless surface and finely finished rims. The simple, cylindrical form with straight sides and a slightly thickened base highlights the geometric clarity and functional minimalism typical of Scandinavian design from the era. The set presents five distinct hues—light green, emerald green, cobalt blue, smoky grey, and a pinkish-orange—each glass measuring 9.5 cm in height and 5 cm in width. The set remains in good vintage condition, with only minor scratches and normal traces of use consistent with its age.These glasses echo the spirit of 1950s Finland: modernity without excess, revealing purity through simplicity of form and material. The colored glass evokes images of northern light refracted on a lake’s surface, while the restrained, functional silhouette seems to whisper stories of everyday beauty found in the harmony of craftsmanship and color. Each piece tells its own tale of Scandinavian restraint—an ode to the poetic potential of ordinary objects.The set may be used as everyday drinkware or as a decorative accent on a shelf or dining table. These glasses pair well with mid-century modern interiors, placed alongside simple white porcelain, matte ceramics, or a wooden tray. In an eclectic space, they can be combined with textiles and glassware from different periods to emphasize a collector’s sensibility. Their delicate shades highlight natural daylight, especially when displayed on a windowsill or open shelf.
