Classic Timo Sarpaneva large bird bottle from Finland. Hand blown thin glass. Lintupullo is a Finnish name for the Bird bottle. Designed by Timo Sarpaneva in 1956 and manufactured in Iittala Glass Factory until 1968. The condition is really good. Color is the original i-series purple that has a lot of gray in. The color is grayish purple in natural light and gray in artificial light. When the bottle has water inside it reacts with light and the texture and reflections come absolutely stunning. Almost like floating shape of liquid. I have photographed the bottle with water. See first and fourth photos. (Bubbles in those photos are water bubbles). I have owned many bird bottles. The problem with these is finding ones without grayness (water stains). Sometimes luckily they are cleanable and sometimes it’s already in a state of glass sickness. Yes there might be small normal signs of use such as small surface scratches or some minimal discoloration and tiny water stains inside but the bottle is free from heavy grayness or any other problematic condition related issues. It has wonderful early production color and it’s super thin glass. There is a tiny brown spot apparently from manufacturing burned impurity? Can be seen in the last photo. Stands 20 cm tall. I post world wide and wrap with care. All my items are insured for lost or broken I’m happy to answer all your questions.
