Iittala Aslak glass bowl, Tapio Wirkkala, 1972. Elk/reindeer/deer design dish/ashtray. Ice textured clear crystal Finnish/Scandinavian. 6"

A beautiful vintage art glass bowl by Tapio Wirkkala, part of the Aslak range for Ahlstrom Iittala from 1972.
This range of large (heavy) bowls came in three variations (reindeer, map or clear) and this particular one is the elk/reindeer design.
This is also the largest of the sizes available - over 6" wide. Model no 2625. Circa 1970s.
Can also be used a candle holder, for a pillar candle.

The design is on the base and is raised slightly, beautiful design of herds of reindeers with large antlers.
The side of the dish is ice like textured and irregular, typical of Wirkkala's designs.
The rim is flat and polished, as is the inner circular bowl.
High quality glass, undoubtedly with a crystal content. Looks stunning in the sun.

Glass is 1"+ thick around the outsides, making for a very heavy piece - it's a large bowl at about 16cm wide or 6.5".
4.3cm tall. Bigger than most! Weighs a hefty 1.35kg.

Very good vintage condition with no chips.
It does have some small signs of use/wear around the rim with some tiny nicks/bites. Rim also has some scratches.
Base is very good, it has a line from time of moulding/manufacture.
You'll only really notice any imperfections on close inspection. Please see photos.

Includes P&P to the UK.
