Rare Mid Century Modern Tapio Wirkkala Hourglass Acrylic / Lucite Finland
For sale is a 5 cm (2 inch) cube acrylic hourglass designed by Tapio Wirkkala and produced in the 1960s. It was commissioned by Mannerheimin Lastensuojelulitto and is marked Lapselle (for a child). It is in very nice shape for being around a half a century old and makes a great desk accessory. It does have some light scratching on the top and bottom which is to be expected for something of its age. There are a couple of dings on one edge of the cube which you can see in the photos. There is also a small fracture near the top which I have captured in the photo. I have come across a number of these and I have never seen a flawless one, but this one displays very nicely. I will get back to you as soon as possible. The item “Rare Mid Century Modern Tapio Wirkkala Hourglass Acrylic / Lucite Finland” is in sale since Sunday, October 4, 2020.

For sale is an 8 cm (3 1/8 inch) cube acrylic hourglass designed by Tapio Wirkkala and produced in the 1960s. It was commissioned by Mannerheimin Lastensuojelulitto and is marked Lapselle (for a child). It is in very nice shape for being around a half a century old and makes a great desk accessory. There are some fine scratches on the top and bottom which do not detract from the piece. There are also some round marks on the inside of the hourglass which you can see in the photos. In my opinion they do not detract significantly from the piece. I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Early Alvar Aalto 30131 vase HUGE wood mould blown RARE savoy Iittala Finland
Offered is this very rare vintage 1950s Alvar Aalto 3031 glass vase. Its a massive piece measuring 30.5cm tall(12″) and top edge diameter is 30.5cm(12″) x 29cm(11.4). Engraved signature on the base. The condition is excellent with the only damage(other than normal signs of age and use like minor scratches to the base) a shallow flake to the top rim as pictured. This can easily be polished off by a professional as the rim already has a flat ground and polished edge. This is an original early wood mould blown example which you can see by the waviness of the glass. It’s a much more beautiful effect than the newer metal moulded production. The item “Early Alvar Aalto 30131 vase HUGE wood mould blown RARE savoy Iittala Finland” is in sale since Monday, April 2, 2018. This item is in the category “Pottery & Glass\Glass\Art Glass\Scandinavian\Other Scandinavian Art Glass”. The seller is “maison_215″ and is located in Zürich. This item can be shipped worldwide.
