The word aalto is Finnish for "wave." In the 1930s Aalto captured the eternal wave in his classic series of vases. Long included in the MoMA design collection, these now-famous undulating vases are masterpieces of free-form modern design. With a sensual and flowing form, they seem to mimic the water they hold. Each lead-free crystal piece is mouth-blown into a mold and hand-polished. Made by Iittala.This is the exact one we have and we are using it as a vase/planter for a white orchid.
