This is the Kartio version produced by Iittala around 2005. before this version they had a very thick one with a straight-lines spout (I wish I could get one of those). The glass is much thinner in this case, almost like in the original version for Nuutajärvi Notsjöfrom the 1950s (see the red jug on the second pic).

This is the same one as I have. ;-)
I think the newer ones look more like the original 1950s... but I haven't seen them life.
I like these more because of the spout.
The WH pitchers also have a spout like this one.
Mmm I don't think I have the same one actually.
I checked and the spout on mine is a bit between the original and this one.

It's the second one from the right
Yours should be the fourth one then.
I don't like this spout very much... so big!
What year did they come out?
The original one id from 1955 I think (red one) but don't know for how long it was made this way. The blue one is the one from ca. 2005
I meant the fourth one ;-)
Ah! Not sure, I think it was between 2008 and 2010
