Vintage iittala Ultima Thule, two boxed white wine glasses. Tapio Wirkkala 1960s design. Clear retro drinking/bar. 160ml glass. Ice textured
A boxed pair of Tapio Wirkkala designed Ultima Thule white wine glasses, made by iittala and made in Finland.
The design dates from 1968 - these are probably 1980s. They come in their retro original box. They're 160ml, so ideal for a small glass of red or white white, or sherry, port etc.
Each glass is 16cl, or 160ml, a good chunky handful size. They're 13cm tall x 5.7cm wide at the rim, 6cm widest. They're linear textured to the uppers with the dripping ice bulbous lower parts and chunky foot. Bright clear crystal content glass, made in Finland.
Great condition. They both have original stickers and look to be unused. The horizontal sticker shape dates them from 1974 to 1991. Box is in good vintage condition.
