This great Iittala Alvar Aalto black free form vase, is aprox 6.5" tall. It has the "I" Made in Finland label and is marked Alvar Aalto on the bottom. It is in excellent condition (no chips or cracks or scratches) and comes from the estate of Everlyn Foster, the mother of actress Jodie Foster. 

"This vase by Finnish designer and architect Alvar Aalto debuted in the 1930s and continues to make waves today, thanks to its famously fluid yet simple form. Originally inspired by the lakes around Aalto's native country, each sculptural piece is still mouth-blown at the littala glass factory, making this vase an artful addition to any space."
