Description: Vintage IITTALA Finland Kartio hourglass-shaped light blue glass carafe pitcher, created in 1958 by the renowned designer, Kaj Franck*. Great for entertaining, the iconic pitcher is simple, elegant and durable for serving cold beverages, with a liquid capacity of 28 fluid ounces--nearly 1 quart. Made in Finland. Hand-wash only. This particular pitcher is unsigned/unmarked. Save for a small horizontal 5/8-inch surface imperfection (appears to be air bubbles, noticeable only in certain lighting) under and to the side of the spout (see photos,) the pitcher is in excellent pre-owned, vintage condition. A classic, practical element of Scandinavian Modern design to share with company, that pairs perfectly with Franck’s Kartio drinking glasses.

In 1958, Franck realized his goal with the Kartio glass, which captured the perfect balance between material and geometric form. Simple, yet durable enough for everyday use, Franck mastered the creation of the basic drinking glass, which is a legendary design beyond any trend. The wide and versatile colour palette of Kartio perfectly represents Iittala’s knowledge of coloured glass."
