Title: Tapio Wirkkala?
Post by: scavo on January 08, 2012, 06:13:07 PM

Very similar to Tapio Wirkkala's Stelleria bowl. Is it related or an impostor?
Done a google image search but nothing the same to be seen.
Please help ID.

I think Seita is spot on. I used one in my kitchen for a few years but sold it when I had a clear out. Looking at Laatutavara (online shop) it appears they come in at least two sizes, 14cm and 18cm, described there as candle holders but I had assumed they were bowls.

Thanks guys. I think that must be it. I would love to find photos of the feet as they are pretty unusual but very difficult to photograph.
Mine must be the smaller one. Bowl or candle holder it will fit well on my bottom shelf of 'ice sculptures'.
