Riihimaki Cobalt Blue Glass Vase Tulppaani Tamara Aladin Vintage 1970s Space Age

Vintage Riihimaki Blue Glass Tulppaani Tulip Vase

Vintage Finnish handmade vase with cool mid century styling.

This vase is a darker indigo blue. It is quite different to the standard Riihimaki bright blue, closer to Riihimaki's cobalt blue.

Model number 1516, designed by Tamara Aladin in 1973.  

Handmade by Riihimaki Lasi in Finland 1973-1976.  

Approximately 20cm tall and 8cm wide at its widest point.  

Excellent vintage condition with only very minor signs of age.

The last photo shows the difference between this colour way and the more usual bright blue. This vase is the same colour way as the vase on the right.

Part of the Tulppaani (Tulip) series.  There were a few variants and this is probably the most sought after because of its funky, space age shape which is very evocative of the atomic era.

Note that we have attempted to show and state the condition as accurately as possible, and will highlight any damage such as chips, but this is a pre-loved, vintage item and some minor signs of age and/or use are to be expected. 

There may be slight variations in the colours shown due to lighting, the camera lens and the device the image is viewed through.
