WOOOOOW!!! I love love love all three of them
A fabulous trio. They work really well together as a group.
i bought one for my dad - very similar to this but w/ a brown color in it - at harrods in london in 1977. it still sits on a shelf in his library.
and i didn't know there were two small sizes... although I know there's at least three for the big ones
thanks to you all for the loves and comments
The Designlasin price guide has a size for the model nr 3568 between 13 to 19 cm for the smaller 15 cm version 23 to 28 cm for the 25 cm version and 28.5 cm to 31 cm for the 30 cm version . there are also a 33 cm ( but acc to old salescatalques that is modelnr 3868 ) and a 40 cm version and they also vary in size and the 33 and the 40 cm also come in a cut version. acc to a sarpaneva book the sizes are 15.25, 33 and 40 cm . Dont know why there is so much variation in sizing in the various series.
example of the cut version http://www.modernity.se/20th-Century-Design/Iittala/Timo-Sarpaneva/ArtID/123/Vase%2fsculpture-Orkidee-designed-by-Timo-Sarpaneva-for-Iittala.aspx
i agree with sean -- great website -- thanks for sharing -- these are so classy looking
It was with good reason that this desgn by Sarpaneva won the "Grand Prix" at the 1954 Milan Triennale and was voted the "Most Beautiful Object of the Year" by House Beautiful magazine that year.
I like pic2 blue sky make reflects in glass many different shapes. Great photo!
