Q & A
Geometric in shape and delicate in color, the iittala Ruutu Vase is a truly unique piece. The craftsmanship involved in producing one vase requires precision and skill. Each vase is mouth-blown into a steel mold and hand-polished, which requires 24 hours of work from seven craftsman. Several factors are needed to achieve the uniform tone beautifully exhibited in each vase including exact temperature and timing, as well as knowledge in glass-mass chemistry. Meaning diamond in Finnish and available in several colors and sizes, Ruutu vases are ideal as collectibles. When grouped together, they create vibrant masterpieces that will breathe life into any room.
Please note: Ruutu vases are diamond-shaped. They are mouth-blown, making each vase unique. The tone and thickness of the vases will vary and may differ slightly from the images shown.

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. Youd be hard-pressed to find a Finn or fan of Finnish design that doesnt recognize the iittala logo, designed by Timo Sarpane... More iittala
I bought this for the color and as an accessory to the 3 other Ruutu vases that I have. It is not very practical, but looks great empty so I don't mind.

I'm completely enamored with the Ruutu vase. I purchased three of them and they're simply lovely.

The geometric approach to iittala's Ruutu collection is a unique addition to its line and underscores iittala's history of cutting-edge design. The diamond shape of the vase is best appreciated in person. The tones are pure and move in shades of light to dark across the piece.
Viewing the video of how these vases are made will greatly enhance one's appreciation of them.
