"Liekki" is, inspired by the organic movement of rising flames and molten glass. The architectural square silhouette contrasts beautifully with the deeply textured sculptural sides, creating a remarkable dialogue between geometry and nature.

Executed in a rich amber tone, the vase captures and refracts light with exceptional warmth, revealing the intricate relief that gives the series its unmistakable identity. The substantial weight and thick-walled construction demonstrate the outstanding craftsmanship for which Finnish glassmaking became internationally celebrated.

An especially desirable example retaining its original Kumela "24 Karattia" factory label, confirming its authenticity and adding significant value for collectors.

A timeless Scandinavian design object that functions equally well as a vase or as a sculptural decorative piece.

Signed on the base "Kumela Finland" and "E. Wänni". This piece has an attribution mark,
