iittala's Aalto, Apple Green, Bowl has gentle rounded lines. It is a pure, natural form, harmonious in its simplicity. It is perfect for any and every occasion. The design was inspired by the work of Alvar Aalto. Alvar Aalto made waves in the 1930s when the now iconic Aalto vase was first presented at the Paris World Exhibition. With this mysterious form he made a revolutionary statement against industrial production that failed to meet human needs. Enduring design and construction are at the heart of the iittala philosophy: iittala, “lasting everyday design against throwawayism.” Made of glass in Finland. 1.25 X 3.5"
