Iittala Ultima Thule Highball Glasses, Set of 2
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-covered window. This set of two highball glasses feature thin, precision-cut rims and slightly curved, round bodies. Crafted in a wood mold, each piece has its own special markings that come out in the glass-blowing process. At the base, bubbles of glass cluster as if they might drip right off. Small round feet hold the vessel off the table-so the glass looks wet, but your table stays dry. Well-balanced and substantial to hold, these 12-3/4-ounce highballs make a versatile addition to the bar and serve everyday beverages in the kitchen or dining room. They also go 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
