Vintage Art Glass Vase 'Claritas' by Timo Sarpaneva for Iittala
A vintage 'Claritas' vase designed by Timo Sarpaneva for Iittala in the 1980s. Claritas are created from a highly intricate technique which makes it possible to incorporate air bubbles and 'eyes' shaped out of colored glass inside the glass. Each example is handblown by the glass master and thus an unique art glass. Marked with incised signature 'Timo Sarpaneva Iittala 1984 C 1634' on the base. An authentic piece of Finnish glass design.
Timo Sarpaneva (1926 - 2006) was not only the artist who designed the 'i' logo for Iittala. His groundbreaking work combines art with useful design. In addition to glass, Timo Sarpaneva also worked with textiles, wood, porcelain and metal. His unique industrial design helped Finland to its worldwide reputation in the design world. His artwork has been awarded the Lunning Prize and twice at the Milan Triennale.
