The name Jäkälä means \u003cem\u003elichen\u003c\/em\u003e in Finnish, while the alternative name Sormivaasi, or “Finger Vase,” describes the form more directly: tall, rounded vertical glass elements rise around the central cylindrical core, resembling fingers. \u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eThe vase was mould-blown, cased and acid-etched, combining clear glass with a frosted surface that emphasises the relief and gives the form a soft, tactile quality. The interplay between transparent and frosted glass enhances the sculptural character of the design, while the vertical elements create a strong sense of rhythm and depth. Presented at the 1951 Milan Triennale, Jäkälä helped establish Wirkkala's early glass design internationally. Its distinctive form, refined surface treatment and connection to the natural imagery of Finnish design make it a particularly appealing piece for collectors of Finnish art glass.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iittala","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55160746606921,"sku":"838594","price":910.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/1803\/8601\/files\/838594TGEV1.jpg?v=1787906201","url":"https:\/\/www.royalsio2.com\/products\/vase-3515-jakala-tapio-wirkkala-iittala","provider":"Royal SiO2","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
