This vintage crystal vase is a decorative crystal object designed by Alvar Aalto and manufactured by the Swedish Companies Orrefors and Ittala in the 1980s. Dimensions: cm 6 x 9.5 x 9.5. In excellent conditions. Orrefors is a Swedish glassworks founded in 1898 in the homonymous village situated in southern Sweden. Up until 2012, it was an important manufacturer of glass and crystal. Its products are synonymous with absolute elegance and quality. Orrefors glasses and vases ennoble the houses that host them giving them a touch of Nordic magic. Iittala is a Swedish factory founded in 1881. It is the queen of Northern glass, representing the best Scandinavian tradition of glass and ceramics processing. Its products are unique and timeless design objects, with a refined and high quality style. The collaboration with the greatest designers of all time has led to the creation of historical pieces such as the Alvar Aalto vases, designed by the architect himself, which are a historical icon of modern design. Hugo Alvar Henrik Aalto (Kuortane, 1898 - Helsinki, 1976) was a Finnish architect, designer and academic. He is considered one of the most important figures in 20th century architecture and remembered - together with Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Walter Gropius, Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier - as master of the Modern Movement. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
