About the Item

This is a handmade vintage unique and rare masterpiece crystal glass vase made and signed by the talented Henrik Koivula for Humppila Finland. The shape is very unusual as well as the technique used, making this piece resembling a small stream of running water. The colors goes from clear crystal to various shades warm orange/amber or honey color, with the original sticker. It has a contemporary feeling to it, yet it is still very 70s in the style, making this a fantastic glass vase a piece of art and will be an eye-catching centerpiece.

This is a rather heavy object, with a weight around 1kg (around 2.3lbs), in a very good condition, what is so unusual is that it is signed, which is not very common for Finnish art glass, the price 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, Tapio Wirkkala, Kaj Franck, Pertti Santalahti 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. Currently one of the biggest new names in Finnish glass art is Anu Penttinen. Like many emerging designers, she works for leading glass design company iittala, which has become world famous. Nuutajarvi, a community which is well known and has been for a long time for its glassworks and artists. It is for instance here where Oiva Toikka's famous glass birds were made for forty years, along with designs from the factory's former art director and designer Kaj Franck. It is the oldest glassworks in Finland and thus it has been leading when it comes to Finnish art glass and design.
