"Pala" Art Glass Vase | Riihimäen, Lasi of Finland

A striking example of Scandinavian art glass, this square ‘Pala’ vase was designed by Helena Tynell for Riihimäki Glass in the 1960s. Crafted in Finland from clear textured glass, the vase is defined by its sculptural, ice-like surface and clean geometric form, beautifully catching and diffusing light. A refined and collectible piece of Nordic design that feels quietly impactful, whether styled with florals or appreciated as an object in its own right. Condition: This piece is in excellent vintage condition with no chips, scratches, or cracks – only slight signs of wear consistent with age and use. Business card shown for scale.

While we make every effort to restore our furniture to its original state, most pieces date from the 1950s to the late 1970s. As a result, and despite restoration, signs of their vintage nature and previous life may still be visible. Light traces of restoration may remain visible, consistent with authentic vintage furniture. In some cases, minor adjustments may also have been made during the restoration process to ensure the piece remains functional and usable. We will point out any notable aspects where possible. We encourage in-store viewing or careful review of photographs before purchase. Items are wrapped and prepared for transport by us (not the courier) to ensure safe handling. Once items leave our premises, they are no longer insured. We recommend arranging goods-in-transit insurance through your own short-term insurer. Due to the fragility of glass, we do not recommend shipping such items outside Gauteng. Please refer to our Shipping Policy for more information: https://retrend.co.za/policies/shipping-policy
