Few words about Aalto

The plan was inspired by the dress of a Sami woman. Aalto created initial prototypes by blowing glass in the center of a work of art of made of wood sticks stuck into the ground, letting the molten glass swell on only a number of sides plus creating a wavy outline. The vase was at first manufactured by the glassworks factory using a wood mold which was slowly burned absent. This urn was later displayed intended for the 1937 World's Fair in Paris.

The Savoy Vase name is the result of the purchase of the urn, and rights to the design, by the Savoy Restaurant in Helsinki. Aalto never made money by means of the urn, because the design belonged to the factory for which the design rivalry entry was produced. The urn has been manufactured in nearly a filled spectrum of colours. Lesser versions of the urn, just as Aalto designed them by means of the seams visible and a slight curve at the bottom, are motionless produced by glasspressing at the Iittala glass factory in Iittala, Finland.

Better versions are complete by Aalto's design, but without seams. Aalto vases by iittala. Alvar Aalto designs.
