Beautiful Kekkerit desert bowl designed by Timo Sarpaneva for Iittala.
Iittala, founded as a glassworks in 1881, is a Finnish design brand specializing in design objects, tableware and cookware. Timo Tapani Sarpaneva (31 October 1926 - 6 October 2006) was an influential Finnish designer sculptor known for innovated work in glass. The stunning Kekkerit (which, incidentally, means party in Finnish) range, also referred to as Finlandia or Moukku, was designed in 1970. Crafted of fine crystal, this highly textured vase literally sparkles with an amazing ice like quality. This piece looks as if it has been carved from glacial ice. The impressive bark like texture, high quality crystal and stunning pattern make this superb piece a truly iconic timeless design.
