I've collected glass for over 20 years and have been fortunate enough to amass a considerable and varied collection, many of which were acquired in Europe where I lived including Venice for the odd Murano piece or two.

Any questions will be well received.

Wow!...for sale a delightful northern form from Annaleena Hakatie of the Finnish glass stable of Iittala of the mid 1990's in perfect condition complete with label intact!

...spanning 9cm's with incredibly dense walls, this is known as a "Ballo votive" bowl and in it's density and design reminds me a little of the smaller geode bowls from Murano with a typically more Northern adherence to classical proportion and symmetry ;-)

...in keeping with exactly that aesthetic this beautiful bowl is a true delight! - perched on 5 tiny circular feet this chunky form has been gifted with a stunning ice-cool light sea-green hue - something the Scandinavians have for breakfast! ;-) - which is just so amazingly fresh and crisp!

...the base of the bowl has been "filled" or topped-up with even more glass - this results in adding to the gravity of this dense form with rich reflections as light is caught in the bowl making the colour sparkle - just delicious!

...a very very pretty classically inspired crisp Northern expression from Finland in near factory fresh condition

...this is a very vibrant piece - it just glistens with a luster from within!

......good luck and don't forget to view my other glass listings...
