Simply beautiful, classic vase. Love the smaller size. Looks great empty as a sculptural piece, or with a flower arrangement.

Iittala Aalto 3 3/4” Vase
December 19, 2019
I would not recommend this vase because on this size of the Aalto vase there are three seams where the vase juts out. I have different sizes in this vase and they do not have the seams and are gorgeous. Finnstyle customer service was fantastic as always however. I was able to return the vase without issues.
Pros
  • None
Cons
  • Seams ruin the look of the vase

You don't have to arrange flowers with this vase. You just throw them in and they always look fabulous. The vase is designed to do all the work and it somehow does.

120mm is quite small (not the smallest), but this size looks better than the taller ones on the table.
Beautifully made, I love to look at it with/without flowers in it.

I purchased three different sizes and probably this one is the most standard I can use often. I like the design and just having them displayed even without flowers looks great!
