I didn't find the Gralglas vase in any catalogue, but it has a Gralglas sticker und this stunning, very billiant glass quality. I like the gradient from green to blue. Harri Koskinen designed the Atlas candle holder/vase in the Nineties, I think. It exists in different colors. I like also the Loistava candle holders he designed for Marimekko.

Scandinavian Art GlassIt isn’t easy to pin down Scandinavian art glass. Like the people of the re…
Both of them are amazing but you know I have a weakness for Koskinen's work :) Is this one of the new Atlas or is one of the original ones? I think that both white and red are the two only colours repeated in the two different editions...
look amazing perfect colors and shape
Thank you to all of you. @austrohungaro. I didn't even know that there are different series. Can you tell me about the differences? Do they concern only the colors or also the shape? Mine is not new, so I think it's from the first edition.
Well, Atlas came out in the market for the first time in 1996/1997. As far as I know the colours it came in were blue, deep green, light green (the one I've got http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/47095-atlas-candleholder-harri-koskinen-iitt?in=user), white and red (http://www.deconet.com/blog/home/tags/harri). They reedited them around 2010 in clear, red, black and white (http://www.designblog.fi/atlas-kynttilanjalka/). Unfortunately I haven't got one from the second series so I cannot tell the differences between the two editions, but I am guessing it's just the different colours.
Was I a "glass manufacturer" and had I reedited an item in the same colour, I would have certainly done it using a different shade of that colour but... cannot tell for Iittala.
If it's not a new one... then congratulations on this amazing find!
I got an old ATLAS in blue (a beauty!) and it's got the "i" sticker on the top, so I guess it's the main difference between the old and new editions. Also, looking at pictures online, I think the difference between the two red ATLAS is in the colour. The old one seems to have a more orange-ish red, and a sort of more transparent glass... the red in the new one seems darker and more uniform...
I should upload the pictures of my new blue Atlas and the yellow Loistava soon!
Looking forward to it!
