Mid-century modern Finnish Glass Vases by Tamara Aladin for Riihimäan Lasi

About the Item

Vintage modernist Finnish art glass vases from the prestigious designer Tamara Aladin. These vases have the most amazing color, the large one has a gorgeous deep velvety purple. The smaller one has a fantastic contrasting turquoise color, both are covered with clear glass. These are unusual color combination for this vase, making it rare. As much of her work, these vases are pieces of art, with partly a modernist feeling, simple with structure yet still has a very contemporary feeling to it. The shape of the vases are very effectful and the surface is also uneven with intentional air bubbles on the surface. The larger ine is 22cm (8.66") high and 6cm (1.18") in diameter and in a very good condition. The smaller one is 18cm (7.08") and 5cm (1.96") in diameter and also in a very good condition, the price is for both vases and includes free shipping Finnish Glass Art Finland has for many become synonymous with design in many areas, especially when it comes to Finnish glass art. Finnish glass art has been made and still is made at factories and studios, where they have produced some of the most iconic pieces, which can be seen at exhibitions and museums all over the world today. The international spotlight for its Finnish glass art came in the mid 1930's with artists and designers such as Alvar Aalto, Oiva Toikka, Tamara Aladin, Tapio Wirkkala, Kaj Franck, and Timo Sarpaneva. In the 19060s and 70s we also have important designers such as Helena Tynell and Nanny Still among others. However, newer artists are still emerging to continue the tradition in innovative forms.
