Set of 4 Katja modernist shot glasses designed by Eero Rislakki for Mäntyharju Glass in the late 1960s. Clear lead crystal with a structured surface that catches light in narrow vertical segments. The pattern shifts as the glass is turned, creating depth within a compact form. The glasses feel solid and stable in the hand.
The series was first produced for Mäntyharju Glass between 1968 and 1971. Production later continued under Riihimäki Glass after the company acquisition.
