135mm Tapio Wirkkala Iittala Seita bowl/dish/ashtray/candle stand. 1970s #2655. Finnish art glass, ice textured. Clear Mid Century Modernist

A beautiful vintage art glass ice-textured bowl, designed by Tapio Wirkkala in 1976 for Iittala, Finland. It's the Seita design, design no 2655. Circa 1970s. Seita was designed as a candle stand for a pillar candle, or an ashtray. This is the smaller size available - the 135mm or 5 1/4" (max width).

The outer edge tapers inwards slightly towards the rim and has ice/bark textured surfaces. It's roughly circular but has an irregular shape with a highly undulating rim. Smooth inside. Has iceberg or ice like feet and textured surface on the base. Heavy chunky clear bright crystal content glass. Quality Scandinavian design.

12.5cm wide at rim, 15.5cm wide at base, 5cm tall sides (but they undulate). 730g... half the weight of my other large version.

Excellent example with no signs of age. Perfect for a collector!
