The Kastehelmi dewdrop serving bowl that Toikka originally designed in 1964 was also the outcome of a technical challenge. To celebrate Toikka's 50th, iittala reintroduced a selection of the most popular pieces in the range in the year 2010. The idea of using droplets of glass as decoration came to Toikka when he was thinking of ways of covering the joint marks left on the surface of pressed glass pieces by the production process.
These bowls are really stylish and unique. I was expecting a larger bowl, but the dimensions are given in the description. The color is wonderful.. Clare. Elm Grove, WI. Sat Dec 12 2015
