Designed by Tapio Wirkkala in 1968 for Iittala, Finland, this is a serving bowl from the designer's award-winning Ultima Thule range. Ultima Thule is one of Wirkkala's best-known production ranges - in fact, that many of the pieces within the range are still in production 50+ years later is a testament to its popularity. Ultima Thule features the designer's characteristic exploration of capturing the texture of melting ice - the underside of each piece features "droplets" - several of which function to elevate each piece off of the surface on which it rests - the result is extraordinarily visually engaging. In excellent vintage condition with no discernible use/wear. Measures 8" diameter (widest point of form at the base), 7.5" diameter (opening) x 3.5" height. This would have been marked with a removable affixed Iittala logo sticker that this example simply no longer retains.
