Default [FA] Swedish designer Chanterelle glass vase by Tapio Wirkkala for Iittala

Swedish designer 'Chanterelle' glass vase by Tapio Wirkkala for
Karhula Iittala.

With a nod to art nouveau, Wirkkala’s design of the Chanterelles range
was based on the simple, naturally occurring shapes of local fungi.

Dimensions: 9cm tall by 8cm wide. Etching on base reads -
TAPIO WIRKKALA - IITTALA

Small, barely noticeable chip on base, otherwise this item is in very
good condition.

Postage options to be discussed after sale but will be strictly at
cost, including insurance if requested. Contact us about this or any
other issues. Contact details are on our shop website.

All profits from this sale go to Oxfam, registered charity #202918

Just for the record
Tapio Wirkkala was a Finn
and the Karhula Iittala factories are in Finland

Whoops, thanks for that. I was told otherwise, but taking a second
look at the book I have on the subject, I see that you are correct.
