180mm 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 bowl, designed by Tapio Wirkkala in 1976 for Iittala, Finland. It's the Seita design, design no 2655. Seita was designed as a candle stand for a pillar candle, or an ashtray. This is the larger, heavier and harder to find size - the 180mm or 7 1/4". It maintains it's original (very faded) vintage triangular iittala 'i' sticker.

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. Circa 1970s.

No chips or nibbles or impacts or scratches, excellent example. Has the original faded label too. Perfect for a collector!

16cm wide at rim, 17.5cm wide at base, 6cm tall sides (but they undulate). Very heavy for the size, just under 1.5kg.
