Rare Deep Blue iittala Alvaar Aalto Vase
Alvar Aalto is often regarded as Finland's most famous architect. He not only used his talents to create beautiful buildings, but also to design its interior features. His most famous vase was called the Savoy after the restaurant of the same name it was designed for, but today it's simply referred to as the Aalto vase. In fact, Aalto himself never referred to it as a vase, because he wanted to design a functional art piece with a wide range of possible uses. The inspiration of its unique form has been the subject of much speculation. Some say the shape reflects the fluid lines of Finland's lake-rich landscape, but others point out that the title of the the original sketches, The Eskimo Woman's Leather Breeches, suggests clothing could have been the muse.
