Blown glass vase by Tamara Aladin for Riihimäen Lasi Oy

This vase belongs to Tamara Aladin's (1932-2019) Tornado series, which she designed for Riihimäen Lasi Oy, Finland in 1970. Known as model 1341, the design features a beautiful hooped design in blown amber glass. 

Aladin greatly contributed towards the Modern Finnish decorative arts movement. Notably, she designed more than half the pieces produced by Riihimäen Lasi Oy. Aladin's name is attributed to at least 150 different designs for the famous glassworks, even though this number is probably higher as she sometimes chose to remain anonymous. 

This piece still has its original label. It is in excellent condition (outstanding for age) with no notches, cracks, repairs or discolouration.
