Scandinavian Modern Saara Hopea two sizes Glass Bowls Blue Green Handblown 1950s Two mold-blown, clear, dark-blue and moss-green cased glass Art-objects / bowls, model SH117. Designed by Saara Hopea in 1956 and executed by Nuutajärvi-Notsjö in 1958 & 1959. An optical effect makes it appear as if the colour goes to the outer edges but the encasing is only in the interior. These objects were made between 1956 and 1967 in two sizes 9,5 cm and 13,5 cm in diameter, and in several colours (blue, green, yellow, purple and red) this being a complete set in green and blue. Both are early production examples. They are marked and dated in diamond pen underneath the base.
