The Story
Created by Kerttu Nurminen in 1998 for the Nuutajärvi Pro Arte collection, the "Palazzo" series stands as one of the designer's most technically complex and artistically mature works. Crafted using the filigree technique, where colored glass threads are fused into the glass mass, this vase demonstrates the highest level of glassblowing mastery, achieving a geometrically precise grid through demanding manual labor. As part of the Nuutajärvi art glass program with a limited production period (approx. 1998–2001), "Palazzo" pieces are highly regarded in design collections and offer long-term investment value. The silhouette and regular pattern of the piece reflect the elegance of Italian glass traditions combined with Nordic technical precision.
