These pieces exemplify Franck’s masterful balance between geometric precision and playful form. The name Hyrrä, meaning “spinning top” in Finnish, reflects the dynamic, totem-like silhouette of the vases — at once bold and balanced.

Blown in rich cobalt blue glass with a hint of violet hue, each vase is a statement of mid-century modern glass artistry. The architectural shape, featuring a thick base and a cylindrical top, creates a strong yet elegant visual rhythm when displayed as a group. All six are individually signed and dated on the base, confirming their authenticity and collectible value.

About the Hyrrä series:
First introduced in 1965, the Hyrrä series is one of Franck’s more sculptural and experimental glass designs, produced in small quantities by the Nuutajärvi glassworks. Unlike his more utilitarian tableware, Hyrrä pieces are often seen as art glass — pushing the boundary between functional object and sculptural form.
