Humppila Finland, REVONTULI glass platter


Humppila is one of the Finland traditional glass makers with very recognizable designs by several famous designers. Tauno Wirkkala, not sure he has any relation to the other famous Wirkkala, is one of the designers who worked for Humppila. He made some stunning and creative designs, very bold, with organic forms and ombré finishing to the glass. I find this ombré color changing from a darker brown shade to clear glass via amber and yellow stunning. His pieces are bottom signed, etched with his name and the company. This design is called REVONTULI and is for sale in our shop.

Frantisek Vizner Vase 20053 for Sklo Union, a very special listing


I listed a very special item this week. This beautiful set of four glass vases, each in a different color. This piece was created by Czech designer Frantisek Vizner (1936-2011) in 1963 for Czechoslovakia glass factory Hermanova Hut with pattern 20053. It is a small piece with 8,5 centimeters of height but this design is perfect and this small glass vase turned out to be one of Vizner's most recognized designs. The set in four colors, clear glass, pale light blue, old pink and lilac. Enjoy the pictures.
