This new version of the classic Aalto shape makes a wonderful gift this season. It can be used to hold nuts and candies or be used for serving sauces or desserts; it also can stand alone as the glass art piece it is.

It was unveiled the following year at the World's Fair in Paris, where its simple and organic shape was received as revolutionary compared to the ornate styles of the time. Today, the design remains modern and timeless.
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.

This dish is really exquisite. It's a beautiful piece. We knew as soon as we took it out of the box that it would look perfect on our counter. I highly recommend Finnstyle.

I LOVE this small bowl. I use it for snacks, as a small vase and as a candle holder with either a small tealight or a small floating candle. The emerald color is beautiful!
