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

The Fantasma series was designed by Nanny Still in 1967 for Finnish glassworks Riihimäen Lasi. In production from 1968 to 1972, the design (named Fenomena) features an irregular tall form with a beautiful textured surface. 

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.

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