iittala released this modern white and dark blue cased Aalto vase to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the historical Aalto vase. This beautiful glass vase brings out the inner and outer shapes of the Aalto vase in an unprecedented way. The outside of the vase is a white (opal) glass and inside is cased with a dark, near-black blue that brightens in the light. These Finnish vases from one of the most prominent designers of the 20th century are a must-have for your modern Finnish design collection.

To celebrate 70 years of the Aalto vase, iittala has also created special packaging for these dual colored vases. Each vase comes inside a commemorative 55% linen/45% cotton white pouch that closes at one end with a draw tie. This multi-purpose sleeve carries an elegant embroidered pattern of the vase's silhouette.
