Designed as a hybrid object, it functions as a small vase, bowl or candle holder. The form is grounded, tactile and intentionally irregular, reflecting Nordic material thinking of the late 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Form\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe silhouette is built around a heavy, bowl alike upper volume set on a compressed pedestal foot. The rim is uneven and softly undulating, preserving traces of hot shaping and giving the object an organic, almost eroded character.

This tradition, prominent in Nordic countries during the second half of the 20th century, favored material expression over polished refinement. Santalahti’s works from this era are represented in institutional collections, including the Finnish Glass Museum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHandmade at Humppila Glassworks, Finland.\u003cbr\u003eSigned on the base: \u003cem\u003ePertti Santalahti, Humppila Finland\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003cbr\u003ePeriod: 1980s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 13.5 cm\u003cbr\u003eDiameter: approx. 12.5 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVery good vintage condition. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse \u0026amp; Placement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSuitable as a small vase, candle holder or standalone sculptural object.
