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.

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.
