Alvar Aalto’s Savoy vase is one of the most famous vases in history. Designed in 1936 for a competition at the Paris World’s Fair, Finnish architect and furniture designer Alvar Aalto anonymously entered and won the competition for his vase under the pseudonym "Eskimo woman's leather breeches". Aalto, Finnish for “wave,” created a glass vase with wavy lines and whimsical freeform design that continues to win awards, has residency in famous museums, and is sought-after worldwide.
The Aalto white vase is cased with a layer of white glass inside an outer clear layer. The white Aalto vase is a modern vase with a layer of white encased by clear glass in magestic form.
Every Aalto vase is still crafted by its original mouth-blown process by Finland’s most skilled glassblowers at iittala.
