Timo Sarpaneva`s "Cardinal`s Hat" for Iittala in Greenish Gray Colour, 1957

About the Item

Timo Sarpaneva received the Grand Prix award for this art piece in the Milan Triennial XI in 1957. It was made in a number of different colors. The material is glass, clear and violet, steam-blown, flared and cut. The overall condition is very good.. a few scratches on the bottom consistent with age and use. The name comes obviously from this art object´s resemblance of a cardinal´s hat. This item is in beautiful vintage condition and incidentally from the same year as it was awarded in Italy. We also have another one in lilac, slightly lower and wider in dimenssions. It is also on offer on 1stdibs. This item is signed.
