Legend Tapio Wirkkala’s greatest inspiration came from his native Finland. With his iconic Ultima Thule, the artist defied the rules of glassblowing. Inspired by an ice-covered Finnish island, Wirkkala spent nearly a thousand hours with the glassblowers at the Iittala glass factory, to recreate this unique slice of Nordic nature. Characterized by a rounded base supported by three ice peaks that float above the surface, the groundbreaking Ultima Thule collection brings a piece of arctic nature into any interior. The Ultima Thule ice-lip pitcher adds striking detail to formal or casual occasions. A stunning way to serve cold drinks. Perfect gift.
