Iittala Alvar Aalto Collection Vase

At 120 mm (4.72 inches) tall, this vase is best suited for smaller, delicate arrangements or a few statement stems. Its unique, undulating shape makes it ideal for showcasing individual flowers rather than large, dense bouquets.

Because each vase is mouth-blown at the Iittala factory, there will be subtle variations in the glass, such as tiny bubbles or slight differences in the wave pattern. These characteristics are intentional and confirm the authenticity of the handcrafted process.

To protect the crystal and the hand-polished finish, this vase must be washed by hand. Avoid using the dishwasher, as the high heat and harsh detergents can cloud or damage the glass over time.

Yes, the 'rain' color is a sophisticated, cool-toned blue-grey that shifts in appearance based on your home's lighting. It tends to look deeper and more saturated in dim light, while appearing lighter and more transparent in bright, natural sunlight.

While it is made of high-quality crystal, it is a decorative object and should be handled with care. It is durable enough for regular use with flowers, but it is not tempered glass and can chip or crack if knocked against hard surfaces.
