Iittala's Aalto vase is a veritable icon of Finnish design and glass art, continually enchanting fans of Nordic design with its organic, ambiguous form. Created by the legendary designer and architect Alvar Aalto, the vase was introduced to the international public in different sizes and colors at the World Fair in Paris in 1937, and it has since become one of the most famous glass objects in the entire world. Each Aalto vase is hand-crafted and mouth-blown at the Iittala glassworks in Finland.

The vase's copper tone is one of Iittala's annual colors for 2022. The rich brown hue was picked from Iittala's extensive glass color archive, and it has been featured in several of Iittala's collections. The rustic, vintage-inspired color goes beautifully with earthy tones but also adds warmth to a sleek and minimalist Scandinavian-style decor.
