Condition

*Tapio Wirkkala (1915-1985) was an exceptionally prolific and versatile Finnish artist who rose to world fame in the early 1950s. He mastered almost any material (silver, ceramics and glass to graphic art) and designed both everyday objects and unique works of art.

Wirkkala drew inspiration from the nature of Lapland, being inspired, especially in his glass objects, by the forms of snow and melting ice.
