Iittala Alvar Aalto Collection Vase

The '1937 clear' color is a tribute to the original glass formula used when Alvar Aalto first designed the vase. It is specifically formulated to mimic the clarity and tone of the sand used in the Iittala Glass Factory during that era.

Given its 3-inch opening, this vase is best suited for a single statement flower or a small, curated seasonal bouquet. It is designed to highlight the beauty of individual stems rather than large, dense arrangements.

While the vase is crafted from high-quality, durable glass, it is a handcrafted piece of art. It is best handled with care and is intended for indoor use to maintain its polished finish.

Because of the unique, organic curves of the Aalto design, we recommend hand-washing with warm water and a mild detergent. A soft bottle brush can help reach the bottom, but avoid abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the polished surface.

Yes, because each vase is mouthblown and hand-finished at the Iittala factory, you may notice slight variations in the glass, such as tiny bubbles or subtle differences in thickness. These are hallmarks of the artisanal process and ensure that every piece is unique.
