Timo Sarpaneva Glass Art Object `Claritas`

About the Item

This beautiful Art Object is from the Claritas series that Timo started in 1984. They are from glass, clear,opal,blown, cut and polished. Each Claritas is unique and shows how skilled the glass blowers at Iittala were. They didn`t use a mould at all in making the Claritas. The bigger versions of the Claritas collection are quite massive and they were developed as a collaboration project of several stages involving Timo Sarpaneva and the glassblowers. Claritas required a versatile technique and more than average skill in the finishing work. The eye like forms inside the Clarits seem to be moving depending on the angel used when looking at the object. The Claritas exhibition was held in 1984. This piece is fully signed, Timo Sarpaneva Iittala 2005.
