A shape constantly interpreted, the Alvar Aalto collection of vases stay true to the original design concept. More than 70 years after the original debut, the design continues to provoke attention by letting the owner decide its use and complementing our busy lives with a touch of nature. Filled with fresh cut flowers or arranged with other collection pieces as works of art, the Alvar Aalto 15.75" Premium Vase is essential piece for the modern home.
The process of creating the hand-blown Alvar Aalto 15.75" Premium Vase calls for experience, a careful eye, and a steady hand. After the non-leaded crystal goes into a wooden mold to create the classic Aalto shape, the pieces are then hand cut and go through several polishing and finishing steps before they are completed, creating a piece worthy of permanent display at the Museum of Modern Art. In addition to the standard Aalto colors, each year iittala selects two new glass colors to run in limited production.
