Description
The set includes six whisky glasses from the Ultima Thule series, designed by Tapio Wirkkala for Iittala in 1968. The irregularly textured walls and sculpted base evoke ice formations.
The textured surface refracts the light and contrasts with the clear opening of the tumblers. 1968 is the year the series was designed; the production date of the glasses offered is not specified.
