Description
An exceptional, boutique-quality original mid-to-late 20th-century vintage Scandinavian art glass bowl.
Designed by the celebrated Finnish master Pertti Santalahti from the iconic “Kruunu” (Crown) series, this architectural centerpiece beautifully
merges high-end Nordic glass-smithing with rich, warm tones.
Features & Details
- Stately Crown Silhouette: Features a distinctive scalloped, flower-like petaled rim inspired by imperial crowns, boasting an organic wavy flow meticulously hand-formed in Finland.
- The Dramatic Amber Pedestal: The defining design element is the deep amber-brown base that seamlessly moves into a ribbed, tapered lower pedestal pillar designed to maximize light refraction.
- Textured Ice Glass Finish: The expansive upper clear crystal glass body is finished with subtle bark or ice-crusted textures on its exterior, a signature of high-end Finnish studio collections.
- Historical Provenance: Originally co-produced through Humppila and Kumela, this authentic vintage item is highly sought after by collectors of 1970s and 1980s Scandinavian modern glassware.
