About the Item

A striking example of Scandinavian minimalism, this vintage vase features a bold, geometric cross-shaped silhouette. Crafted from heavy, high-clarity glass, its vertical channels capture and refract light, creating a dynamic architectural presence whether displayed with florals or as a standalone sculpture. The design is attributed to the golden era of Riihimäen Lasi, the largest glass factory in Finland, which employed legendary designers such as Tamara Aladin, Nanny Still, and Helena Tynell. This specific model showcases the clean lines and technical precision that defined Finnish "Cool" during the mid-20th century.
