Title: Iittal-yeah or Iittal-nah? Any thought's on this vase?
Post by: iittalayyz on June 25, 2018, 03:32:34 AM

Hello everyone

I have recently acquired this vase in a lot with mostly Finnish Iittala/Humppila glass, but I'm not sure if it is either.  There are no sticker or markings.  The date and series is a mystery, but it looks very Iittala-esque.  6.5"tall by 6" wide by 3"deep.

Thanks in advance

Cant quite be sure from the photos but check out IITTALA 2784 Pinus vase.
If it is correct its a Tapio Wirkkala design from 1972.
IITTALA glass is a good collecting field.
Good luck,
Tim

Hello and welcome!
I am no Iittala ex-spurt, and I don't know what lighting and photography conditions you have there, but the colour of the glass looks (to me) to be far too yellow for Iittala.
It's normally a really clear sort of clear - no blues greens or yellows in it.
I also get my textures mixed up, but does this not look like an Ingridglas texture?- one often confused for being wfs.
I can't see it (the texture) terribly well from the pics, but the clear glass colour from Ingridglas isn't quite as absolutely, utterly clear as Iittala is.

Def not Iittala the base is all wrong.
