His vase is world-famous and an absolute classic among designer vases.
The timeless Aalto vase is synonymous with Finnish glass art and was created in the late 1930s. This is the large version in clear glass, manufactured by iittala around 2000.

The same natural forms appear repeatedly in Aalto's work: in the undulating walls of the Finnish pavilion at the 1939 World's Fair in New York, in the architecture of the Düsseldorf Theater, in his armchairs, the Spanish wall or the tea trolley. This piece has an attribution mark,
