Each glass has a wide rounded bowl, a short circular foot and a sculptural stem that seems to rise directly out of the glass body. The stem has a softly pinched handmade shape, created during the glassblowing process. This gives the glasses their distinctive character and makes each piece slightly individual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"572\" data-end=\"737\"\u003eThe design belongs to the elegant postwar period of Finnish glass, when clear glass, proportion and hand formed detail were often enough to create a complete object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"739\" data-end=\"1002\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"739\" data-end=\"763\"\u003eDesigner and History\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"763\" data-end=\"766\"\u003eGunnel Nyman was one of the most important Finnish glass designers of the 1940s and 1950s. Her work helped define the modern language of Finnish glass before the better known international boom of Finnish design in the following decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1004\" data-end=\"1279\"\u003eShe was often described as a designer poet. In her best pieces, form, material and proportion are closely balanced, with the nature of glass remaining central. Nyman was especially interested in transparency, light, fluid shapes and the living quality of glass as a material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1281\" data-end=\"1354\"\u003eThe GN 46 model was in production at Nuutajärvi Notsjö from 1949 to 1969.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1356\" data-end=\"1447\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1356\" data-end=\"1377\"\u003eForm and Material\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1377\" data-end=\"1380\"\u003eClear blown glass with a rounded bowl and a short, expressive stem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1449\" data-end=\"1748\"\u003eThe stem appears to have been shaped by hand during production, with three soft pinched sections that create an organic, slightly asymmetric rhythm. This detail is one of the most interesting features of the design. It gives the glass a handmade presence without making the form decorative or heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1750\" data-end=\"1782\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1750\" data-end=\"1766\"\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1766\" data-end=\"1769\"\u003eHeight: 11 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1784\" data-end=\"1828\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1784\" data-end=\"1797\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1797\" data-end=\"1800\"\u003eVery good vintage condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1830\" data-end=\"1953\"\u003eOne glass has a small glass accumulation near the stem.
