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.
