The inspiration of its unique form has been the subject of much speculation. Some say the shape reflects the fluid lines of Finland's lake-rich landscape, but others point out that the title of the the original sketches, The Eskimo Woman’s Leather Breeches, suggests clothing could have been the muse. Just as Aalto wanted the end user to determine the glass object's purpose, perhaps he also intended for us to imagine the inspiration. Either way, those original sketches impressed at the Karhula Iittala glassworks competition and the design had its public unveiling at the Paris World Fair in 1937. International recognition and success followed, and to this day the shape remains somewhat of a symbol for Finland and Finnish design.

All in good condition with no rim chips.
