Ultima Thule sparkling wine glass 18 cl, 2 pcs, Finnish sand

Ultima Thule sparkling wine glasses are part of Iittala’s iconic glassware range, which was created in 1968 by Tapio Wirkkala. The inspiration for the collection was found in the melting spring ice of Northern Finland. Ultima Thule glasses are mouth-blown at the Iittala glass factory in Finland.

In 1969, the Finnish airline Finnair chose Ultima Thule for its new route from Helsinki to New York, and the glassware is still used in Finnair’s Business Class. Ultima Thule crystallises the expressive power of Finnish glass design, and this distinctive classic played a key role in Iittala’s international breakthrough. Over time, Ultima Thule has become one of Iittala’s most popular glassware ranges, exemplifying Wirkkala’s belief that the simplest objects often require the most work.

The green hue of this Ultima Thule sparkling wine glass comes from Finnish sand. This special edition colour is available for a limited time only – making it a true collector’s item to add to your glassware collection now!
