Cup KF 486

Goblet KF 486 is designed by Kaj Franck in 1968. The stylish goblet was made in Nuutajärvi from 1968 until 1971 in different sizes and with different color combinations. Pop-inspired wine glasses were presumably used as wine glasses in Armi Ratia's Bökars manor. With its colorful, gorgeus design, Franck's Goblet KF 486 makes a great addition to any art glass collection as well as a charming decor piece for the window sill or side table.

Nuutajärvi Glassworks was established in Urjala in 1793, and until 2014 it was the oldest glass factory still operating in Finland. The Nuutajärvi glass factory area is nowadays listed among the nationally important built cultural environments by The National Board of Antiquities. During its long history, Nuutajärvi Glassworks manufactured everything from window glass to design glass.

Kaj Franck was the longest-running artistic director of the Nuutajärvi Glassworks between 1951 and 1973. The glass factory also employed several other well-known Finnish glass designers such as Gunnel Nyman, Saara Hopea, Oiva Toikka, Heikki Orvola and Kerttu Nurminen. Independent glass designers and artists still work and manufacture glass objects at the Nuutajärvi glass factory area. The Nuutajärvi Glass Museum Prykäri, designed by Kaj Franck, also locates in the area.
