Put a chill in the air with Iittala's Ultima Thule glassware. Glimmering with clear, textured surfaces, the organic collection evokes wintry water images like cascading icicles or a frost-covered window. This set of two double old-fashioned glasses feature thin, precision-cut rims and low-seated, slightly curved bodies. Crafted in a wood mold, each piece has its own special markings that come out in the glass-blowing process. At the base, bubbles of glass cluster as if they might drip right off. Three small round feet hold the vessel off the table-so the glass looks wet, but your table stays dry. Well-balanced and substantial to hold, these 9-1/2-ounce double old-fashioned glasses make a handy addition to the bar for straight-up or on-the-rocks drinks. They also go conveniently into the dishwasher. The classic Iittala design was created by Tapio Wirkkala in 1968 and named after the fabled arctic land. It is made in Finland. --Kara Karll

Product Description

A moment frozen in time. The iittala UT950031 Ultima Thule 9.5 oz double old fashion glass represents thousands of hours spent perfecting the glass blowing technique required to produce this bubble/crackle effect. The forms imitate nature and gradually change as the molten glass burns the surface of the wooden molds. This glass is part of an extensive collection of other pieces just like it. Perfect for your home. Ready for use at any table. Dishwasher safe. Only from iittala.
