Set of 12 Glass Bottles by Nanny Still, Riihimäen Lasi, Finland, 1960s

About the Item

This striking set of twelve glass bottles, designed by Nanny Still for Riihimäen Lasi, exemplifies the bold yet refined spirit of mid-century Finnish glass design. Each bottle features a tall, cylindrical body paired with a slender neck that gently flares or folds into a subtle spout, giving every piece a distinct yet harmonious character. Executed in a vivid spectrum of colors—ranging from deep cobalt blue and ruby red to soft green, amber, and smoky grey—the collection creates a dynamic visual rhythm when displayed together. The transparent glass enhances the purity of form, while the variations in tone and hue add depth and movement. Still’s approach balances functionality with sculptural expression. The elongated silhouettes and slightly irregular, hand-formed rims highlight the craftsmanship behind each piece, while the repetition of form unifies the set. Whether arranged in a row or grouped more freely, the bottles interact beautifully with light, casting subtle reflections and colored shadows that shift throughout the day. Both decorative and functional, this set embodies the optimism and experimentation of 1960s Scandinavian design. It works equally well as a centerpiece installation or as individual vessels, bringing color, elegance, and a sense of playfulness to any interior.
