Tuikku candleholder, 18 cm, green

Heikki Orvola's Tuikku candleholder was in production from 1975 to 1983. The beautiful green glass candleholder has a cylindrical foot and a round top part that spreads the light beautifully. The timeless Tuikku candleholder will delight both the coffee table and the windowsill as a decoration, and is suitable as an atmosphere creator for a festive table setting.

The Tuikku candleholder was made in two different sizes from clear, green and brown glass. A separate wall mount was also available for the candleholder.

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.
