Pair of grey colored glass pressed dessert plates from Bölgeblick series by Aino Aalto.
The iconic early modernist glassware series Bölgeblick (Wave glance in English) marked the beginning of contemporary tableware design. Created by one of the first female designers, Aino Aalto, for the Karhula glassworks in Finland, production began in 1932. Interesting that Aino's surname Aalto means Wave in Finnish.
The series is distinguished by its soft yet geometric contours and unique stepped forms that are distinctly atectonic.
In 1936 Bölgeblick was awarded the Gold Medal at the Milan Triennial, the most prestigious design exhibition of its time.
1934-38. Karhula glassworks. Diameter 14 cm. Only slight traces of use corresponding with the age of the items. Price per 2 pcs
