Iittala Aalto Vase

The bubble glass technique involves trapping small air bubbles between layers of molten glass during the mouth-blowing process. This creates a unique, organic texture that refracts light differently in every piece, ensuring that no two vases are exactly alike.

Because this vase is hand-crafted from delicate mouth-blown glass, it must be hand-washed only. Avoid using a dishwasher, as the high heat and harsh detergents can damage the glass surface and the integrity of the piece.

The undulating, wave-like form is actually designed to support stems naturally. The varying widths of the vase allow you to group flowers in different sections, making it easier to create a balanced arrangement than with a standard cylindrical vase.

Yes, every Aalto vase is authentic and hand-crafted at the Iittala glassworks in Finland. Each piece is mouth-blown by skilled glassmakers, maintaining the traditional craftsmanship established by Alvar Aalto in 1937.
