2015 marks the 100th anniversary since Tapio Wirkkala’s birth, and this beautiful mouth-blown glass bottle is the perfect commemoration and celebration of his life and works. Based on a 1959 design by Wirkkala, the object’s soft curves and unique imperfections are a reflection of the Finnish-made craftsmanship and only enhance the smoky copper hue of the glass.
