The name Löytö means Discovery in Finnish, a fitting name for a piece where the main visual effect comes from light, transparency and the movement of the glass itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"318\" data-end=\"643\"\u003eMade of clear glass. Its expression comes from the deep vertical ribs, thick base and softly widening form. When placed against a dark background, the clear glass creates strong shadows and optical lines, giving the vase a much more sculptural presence than its small size might suggest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"645\" data-end=\"767\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"645\" data-end=\"671\"\u003eDesign and Attribution\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"671\" data-end=\"674\"\u003eThe Löytö series was originally designed in the 1950s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"769\" data-end=\"1100\"\u003eThe series is often associated with Tapio Wirkkala, one of the central figures of Finnish glass design. Some accounts suggest that much of the actual design work may have been carried out by Erkki Vesanto and Saara Sappinen, based on ideas attributed to Wirkkala.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1102\" data-end=\"1336\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1102\" data-end=\"1123\"\u003eMaterial and Form\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1123\" data-end=\"1126\"\u003eHand-blown clear glass with a ribbed, fan shaped structure. The vase has a low, open body and a heavy clear base. The vertical ribs catch and bend the light, creating a strong optical rhythm around the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1338\" data-end=\"1527\"\u003eThe shape works well both as a small flower vase and as a decorative glass object. Its compact size makes it easy to place on a shelf, table, windowsill or among other Finnish glass pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1529\" data-end=\"1562\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1529\" data-end=\"1545\"\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1545\" data-end=\"1548\"\u003eHeight: 8.2 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1564\" data-end=\"1603\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1564\" data-end=\"1577\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1577\" data-end=\"1580\"\u003eGood vintage condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1605\" data-end=\"1748\"\u003eThere are very light traces of residue in the upper inner part.
