Vintage Retro Modern Kastehelmi Bowl & Liner
Vintage retro modern glassware from Finland, 1960s. The Kastehelmi pattern, also called Dew Drop, was designed by Oiva Toikka for Nuutajarvi Nostjo in 1964. Nuutajarvi was the oldest glass factory in Finland, began production in 1793. In 1950, the Arabia (Kaj Franck) glass factory teamed with Nuutajarvi. Toikka was appointed designer in 1963. In 1990, Iittala absorbed Nuutajarvi.
This pattern was produced in bright, deep colors. This is pressed, quality glass. There are no seams. The pattern produces a wonderful glitter in the light, hard to capture on the images. Very hard to find.
Heavy quality glass, set weighs 1.2 lbs. The plate measures 7″ wide and .75″ tall. The bowl is 4″ wide and 2″ tall.
