iittala Ultima Thule 4-1/2-Inch Dessert Bowl Set of 4
Put a chill in the air with Iittala's Ultima Thule glassware. Glimmering with clear, textured surfaces, the organic collection evokes wintry water images like cascading icicles or a frost-laced window. This 4-1/2-inch dessert bowl translates the pattern on a charming, small size. With a clean, precision-cut rim, the body features low walls and a pleasantly rounded shape accented by bubbles of glass around the bottom that look as if they might drip right off. Three round feet hold the vessel off the table-so the glass looks wet, but your table stays dry. Versatile and attractive, this piece serves ice cream, yogurt, or nuts in style. Each bowl is crafted in a wood mold and obtains its own unique markings in the glass-blowing process. Despite its elegant appearance, it goes conveniently into the dishwasher. The classic Iittala design was created by Tapio Wirkkala in 1968 and named after the fabled arctic land. It is made in Finland.--Kara Karll
