The form is remarkably restrained, yet full of subtle tension between weight and lightness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bowl rises almost straight from the stem with very little decoration, allowing the proportions to carry the entire design. What makes Karelia memorable is the lower part of the glass. The heavy sculptural foot and compact stem create a grounded feeling rarely seen in Nordic stemware of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe series fits naturally into both modern interiors and classic Finnish table settings. Beautiful for white wine, but equally strong as a small water or aperitif glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDesigner\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTapio Wirkkala\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the central figures of Finnish modern design, known for reducing objects to their essential shape without losing warmth or character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIittala\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSeries\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKarelia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModel 2103\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePeriod\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1965 to 1974\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterial and Color\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClear glass\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight: 11.5 cm\u003cbr\u003eDiameter: 6 cm\u003cbr\u003eCapacity: 12 cl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery good vintage condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAtmosphere and Placement\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKarelia glasses work especially well in darker interiors, candle light, and minimalist table settings where the heavy lower section begins to reflect surrounding light.
