This free-blown art glass piece, decorated with playful enameled motifs—such as cityscapes, a walking man, and a black cat—represents Iittala's postwar shift toward artistic design. Because the painted details on each piece are unrepeatable and the series lacks an official model number, it is a truly unique narrative design object. Excellently preserved examples with the authentic \"TW Iittala -48\" signature are exceptionally rare on the secondary market and highly prized by collectors. Due to its historical significance and the rarity of Wirkkala’s early creative period, this piece offers collectors stable, long-term investment value. It is a museum-quality object that unites free-form playfulness with craftsmanship, making it a worthy addition to any discerning glass collection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iittala","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54852308304201,"sku":"884994","price":670.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/1803\/8601\/files\/884994TGEV1.jpg?v=1784907251","url":"https:\/\/www.royalsio2.com\/products\/decorative-bottle-and-glass-tapio-wirkkala-iittala","provider":"Royal SiO2","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
