Timo Sarpaneva, postwar ittala Finnish International Designer (1926 - 2006). Hand-blown cobalt blue wine carafe. The Carafe allows air into the drink with the wide bottom. Google it, it's a very unusual art piece of glass. It is chipped on spout end unfortunately, see pic. Still beautiful. As picture #2 shows there is an iridescence, mirror like finish, when placed in the sun.
