Classic Timo Sarpaneva round 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. Color is original i-color gray which was mixed with purple color and has a small purple hint depending on the light. 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 but the bottle is free from grayness, has wonderful shape and original color. Signed “Timo Sarpaneva Iittala -58″ so this is early production piece. Stands approx 16.5 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.
Timo Sarpaneva hand blown signed art glass bird bottle from Iittala Finland. Lintupullo is the Finnish name for the Bird bottle. Designed in 1956 and manufactured in Iittala Glass Factory until 1968. My set comes in three different colors: Blue, purple and gray (gray is mixed with purple color so it has a purple tint). I have owned many bird bottles. The problem with these is finding ones without grayness (water stains). Sometimes it’s cleanable and sometimes it’s already in the state of glass sickness. There might be small normal signs of use but the bottle is free from grayness, no defects and they have wonderful shape and lovely colors. All bottles are signed. Blue and purple are signed “Timo Sarpaneva 2500″ and gray is signed “Timo Sarpaneva Iittala -57″. The difference in the signing style comes from the manufacturing era. The ones signed with product number “2500” are from late 1950s to early 1960s. Bottles stand approx 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.
A Lintupullo (= Bird Bottle) vase for Iittala, designed by Timo Sarpaneva in 1956 for Iittala, and produced until the late 1960s. Signed and numbered on the underside. An iconic mid-century piece. Excellent vintage condition, no issues. Size: 20 cm high, 9.5 cm diam Please view all the photos before purchasing, they complete the description. While I do my best to reproduce the true colours of the pieces, they will vary slightly from system to system, and in actual viewing they will vary under differing lighting. All white spots are purely light reflections from the camera flash. The item will first be wrapped in bubble before packing securely in a solid box with lots of peanuts – earthquake proof.

An item that has been used previously. Used, Vintage Hand Blown Vase Soliflore Model “Karaphi” Blue Glass Signed by Timo Sarpaneva, Iittala Manufacture Finland 1958. One of postwar Finland’s most celebrated designers, Timo Sarpaneva was born to a family of blacksmiths and textiles artists in Helsinki in 1926. He studied graphic design and drafting at the Taideteollinen Korkeakoulu (now known as the Aalto University School of Arts, Design & Architecture) between 1941 and’48. In 1949, he won a prize in glass design from Riihimäki Glassworks, and the following year Karhula-Iittala hired him as a designer and exhibition programmer. Sarpaneva’s designs for Iittala earned both the man and the company international acclaim, particularly through presentations at the Triennale di Milano in the 1950s. Inspired by modernist principles of reduction and experimentation, Sarpaneva pioneered a number of new techniques and forms in glass design. Width: Approx 2.6.
