Fabulous Pair of Vintage Iittala Sculptural Art Glass Candle Holders / CandlesticksThese beautiful candle holders would make a great gift for your special Valentine!Based on my research, I believe these to be either from the Arkipelago or the Arktia series designed by Timo Sarpaneva (1926-2006). They were made by Iittala of Finland. According to the company's website: " Designer and sculptor Timo Sarpaneva (1926-2006) was an internationally known force in Finnish design. It was written that this master of many materials had a 'rare ability to be mesmerized and to worship beauty.' His rise towards the top of the design world began in the 1950s. Sarpaneva's works are exhibited in homes and museums around the world. His designs extend from utility glassware and art glass to textiles and graphics. Sarpaneva has had an important role at Iittala. He designed the "i" logo, which serves as the symbol of the company."This pair of oval shaped candle holders are heavy, substantial, and gorgeous!. They stand 4.25 inches tall, 2.75 inches wide, and 2 inches deep.They have an aqua blue green "wave" flowing through the middle of the glass with the color reflected throughout the clear glass all the way to the top and bottom. Along with the color, the suspended bubbles are evocative of the ocean. Would look great in a beach, cottage, or modern setting.
