The Story
Designed by Nanny Still in 1971, Tiimalasi reflects the bold geometric direction of her later work for Riihimäen Lasi. Named after the Finnish word for hourglass, the series is defined by its distinctive pinched centre, where balanced proportions create a striking architectural silhouette. Model 1444 is the largest and most commanding vase in the collection. Its broad cylindrical opening makes it equally suited to dramatic floral arrangements or as a sculptural object, while the heavy base and faceted central section beautifully capture and reflect light. Produced for only a few years during the early 1970s, Tiimalasi represents the mature phase of Nanny Still's career, where clean geometry replaced the softer organic forms of her earlier designs. Today, the series is appreciated for its timeless Scandinavian aesthetic, with the ruby red examples ranking among the most desirable for collectors of vintage Finnish art glass.

Nanny Still

Nanny Elisabet Still McKinney (1926–2009). One of Finland's most celebrated glass designers, Nanny Still transformed Scandinavian glass with her fearless creativity, vibrant colours and remarkable technical skill. After graduating from the Institute of Industrial Arts in Helsinki in 1949, she won Riihimäen Lasi's Nordic design competition and immediately joined the factory's design team, where she remained for more than twenty-five years. Among the first women to establish a successful career in Finnish glass design, Still created both elegant everyday glassware and highly sculptural art glass, constantly pushing the possibilities of the material. Her best-known collections - including Grapponia, Harlekiini and Flindari - combined bold forms, rich colours and exceptional craftsmanship, while later works explored increasingly experimental sculptural techniques such as pâte de verre. After moving to Brussels in 1959, she continued designing internationally, particularly for Rosenthal in Germany, while maintaining her reputation as one of Finland's leading glass artists. Today, her work is admired worldwide for its originality, technical innovation and enduring influence on modern glass design.
