Realized through new and unique techniques, Mari is a refreshing progression of Professor Oiva Toikka's work. The base is left open and the dome-shaped body hollow like her mother, Anna, where she can seek shelter. Toikka carefully considered the color and transparency of Mari which the talented team at iittala's glassworks in Finland bring to life in mouth-blown glass. Her pale yellow hue is stunning on its own but gains new warmth when sitting snugly in Anna's protective wings.
