Description
A spectacular, collector-grade original mid-to-late 20th-century vintage Scandinavian art glass bowl. Designed by the celebrated Finnish master Pertti Santalahti for the historic Humppila Glassworks, this organic interior masterpiece showcases iconic Nordic “ice glass” textures combined with rich earth tones.
Features & Details
- Elite Finnish Artistry: Features a beautiful modern flower- or petal-like silhouette with a heavily textured, ice-crusted frosted texture along the expansive clear upper body.
- The Dramatic Amber Pedestal: The defining design element is the deep amber-brown gradient flowing down into a robust, ribbed columnar pedestal base that catches and diffuses light beautifully.
- Hand-Formed Sculptural Quality: Expertly crafted using traditional European hot-glass techniques, giving the scalloped edges an organic, natural flow unique to Humppila’s legendary 1970s production lines.
- Historical Provenance: An authentic piece of mid-century modern Scandinavian glass design, highly sought after by curators of Finnish crystal, retro tablescapes, and high-end studio glass art.
