Mould-blown Glass Vase by Nanny Still for Riihimäen Lasi, Finland. 

The Nebulosa series was designed by Nanny Still (1926–2009) in 1967 for Finnish glassworks Riihimäen Lasi. In production from 1968 to 1969, the design features very solid clear mould blown glass with a raised circular relief pattern and geometric form. The name of the series really reflects the interest in space during this period! 

Nanny Still (1926 – 2009) was an incredible 20th century designer and is celebrated for her contribution to the Modern Finnish decorative arts movement. For Still, glass was a living medium that could be both whimsical and radiant. She chose not to draw a clear line between art and functional glass but rather to create forms that embodied both aspects. Her body of work from the ‘50s and ‘60s featured enduring, elegant, and imaginative pieces that were highly innovative and commercially successful.

It is in excellent condition with no notches, discolouration, cracks or repairs.
