Description
This set of eight vintage drinking glasses features the iconic "Ultima Thule" pattern designed by Tapio Wirkkala for Iittala in 1968. Inspired by the melting ice of Lapland, the Scandinavian modernist design showcases an organic, heavily textured frosted surface that simulates running water and icicles. With a contoured, hourglass silhouette and a distinctive textured organic base, these exceptional Finnish glasses add a striking mid-century modern aesthetic to any barware collection.
