Blue Glass Series 6: Riihimäki Lasi Ultra Bowls

These blue ULTRA bowls, designed by Pertti Kallioinen for Riihimaki Lasi some time in the 1980's are really beautiful, even if the pink version of these bowls seem to be more appreciated, the blue bowl has its charm. It is a lovely designm textured glass, waves like, it made sense to include them in my series of blue glasses. As I have mention before, I make this series because I love blue glasses, textured (like these bowls) or not. Any plain blue glass will do it for me, I think they are super pretty.

We have these beauties in stock in our Etsy store.

Metsä Bowls,  Forest Bowls

I am one fan of the famous Forest bowls that, in Finnish means, "Metsä". They were designed by Pertti Kallioinen for Finnish glass company Mäntsälän Lasisepät in the 1980's. The design simulate the movement of leafless trees and it is simple and beautiful. We have some of them in the store right now, a very large one which can be used for salads of as fruit bowl and two small ones which can be used to serve snacks or as candle holder.
