Timo Sarpaneva, Iittala Bird Bottle Lintupullo stunning signed art glass
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. Color is deep blue. 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 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 deep blue color and original the factory sticker. Signed “TS” as initials of Sarpaneva meaning this is the later 1960’s model. Stands 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.
