For 70 years, the Savoy vase, designed by Finnish architect and furniture designer Alvar Aalto, has been one of the most famous pieces of glass in history. In 1936, Aalto anonymously entered his vase design for a competition at the Paris World's Fair and it captured the admiration of design lovers ever since. Fluid in form, the famous shape is mouth-blown in Finland making each a unique piece of glass art. Fill with flowers, candies, or display empty; Aalto wanted the end user to decide the object's purpose.

Aalto's Savoy vase continues to win awards, has residency in famous museums, and is recognized and appreciated worldwide. Each Aalto vase is still crafted by its original mouth-blown process by Finland's most skilled glassblowers at iittala.
