Q & A
For juice, water, milk, and more, Kartio glassware is an enduring essential. The dark grey color is permanently a part of the non-leaded crystal rather than painted on after production, which allows it to glow with such a dreamy depth and never fade no matter how many times it goes through the dishwasher. Designed by Kaj Franck in 1958, Kartio glassware is internationally recognized for its simplicity, beauty and functionality, and is easily combined with other iittala pieces. A stylish and sensible set to own, these timeless tumblers won't live much of their long life behind cupboard doors.

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
Born in Finland in the early 1900’s, designer Kaj Franck preferred deconstructed design and valued usability as it directly related to beauty. In removing excessive elements, his simplistic designs are comfortable and easily palatable for home use. Franck’s hauntingly beautiful Kartio Glass... More Kaj Franck
Chunky and substantial like most Iittala glass pieces. I own Kartio glasses in the lighter blue, which are more transparent. These look smoky, and go really well with Marimekko tableware in midnight blue colors. Personally, I like the sophisticated look of the grey, dark blue more than the acqus. Unfortunately, they do tend to chip on the rim, especially when stored in stacks.
Pros
Beautiful color and clean design is practical and goes with everything.
Cons
Rim chips easily
