The vase has a broad cylindrical body, a softly flared rim and a thick clear glass base that gives the piece visual weight. Its proportions are calm and architectural, with a strong horizontal presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe white glass has a soft opaline quality. It is not a flat white surface: the material changes with light, becoming slightly translucent near the rim and edges. In bright light, the upper edge shows a delicate opalescent glow, with pale blue and grey undertones visible through the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner and Maker\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDesigner: Heikki Orvola\u003cbr\u003eManufacturer: Nuutajärvi Glassworks\u003cbr\u003eSeries: Fuuga\u003cbr\u003eCountry: Finland\u003cbr\u003eProduction period: 1983 to 1987\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Opaline glass and clear glass\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGlass and Technique\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe vase combines opaque white opaline glass with clear glass. The lower part shows how the white glass meets and enters the transparent base, creating visible depth inside the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe contrast is subtle but technically important: milky white glass above, clear heavy glass below, and a soft internal transition between them. This gives the vase its quiet visual tension. The form is simple, but the glass makes it change depending on light and background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForm and Colour\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe shape is wide, low and solid, with a gently opened rim. It works well as a small vase, a sculptural glass object or a calm centrepiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe colour is mainly soft white, with translucent opaline edges and a clear grey toned base. Against dark surfaces, the white body becomes more luminous. Against a light background, the clear base and rim details become more visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 12 cm\u003cbr\u003eDiameter: 13.5 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVery good vintage condition.
