Q & A
Aino Aalto, wife of esteemed architect and glass designer Alvar Aalto, won the 1932 iittala-Karhula design competition in Finland and the gold prize at the Milan Triennale in 1936 for her functionalist glassware collection. Aino Aalto’s namesake design is iittala’s oldest product and stands for the epitome of mindmade design.Aino Aalto’s glassware and dinnerware are the first glass products intentionally designed with everyday use in mind, yet adaptable for modern production methods. Developed in the true spirit of functionalism, Aino Aalto’s glassware is so simple and timeless in form it is no surprise it still graces tables around the world 70 years later.

First founded as a glassworks company in 1881, iittala is now a leading company in modern Finnish design producing a range of dinnerware, glassware and art pieces. You’d be hard-pressed to find a Finn or fan of Finnish design that doesn’t recognize the iittala logo, designed by Timo Sarpane... More iittala
Great bowl. I have the clear and just gave the gray as a Christmas present and the recipients loved it as much as I love mine. A beautiful design.
Pros
Can use it for just about anything -- including just leaving it out as a centerpiece.
Cons
Nothing.

My sister has other Aino Aalto pieces, so this was a good gift for her to add to her collection. She has the smaller bowl, and although the rest of her items are clear glass, she liked the gray in the larger bowl.
Pros
Came in perfect condition, thanks to the excellent packing of the item.
