Q & A
Aino Aalto, wife of esteemed architect and glass designer Alvar Aalto, won the 1932 iittala-Karhula design competition in Finland and the gold prize at the Milan Triennale in 1936 for her functionalist glassware collection. Aino Aalto’s namesake design is iittala’s oldest product and stands for the epitome of mind-made design. Her glassware and dinnerware are the first glass products intentionally designed with everyday use in mind, yet adaptable for modern production methods. Developed in the true spirit of functionalism, Aino Aalto’s glassware is so simple and timeless in form it is no surprise it still graces tables around the world 70 years later.
MEASUREMENTS: 4-1/4" tall x 3-1/4" in diameter at rim (11 x 8 cm)
First founded as a glassworks company in 1881, iittala is now a leading company in modern Finnish design producing a range of dinnerware, glassware and art pieces. You’d be hard-pressed to find a Finn or fan of Finnish design that doesn’t recognize the iittala logo, designed by Timo Sarpane... More iittala
A practical woman who was always challenging the boundaries of traditional design, Aino Aalto had visionary ideas that graced her with several awards and design notoriety during her lifetime. In 1932, Aino entered and won a glassware competition in Finland to beat even her husband, Alvar Aa... More Aino Aalto

Absolutely beautiful glasses. The water green color subtly changes with lighting conditions—love, love the color.

I am extremely pleased and would definitely purchase again.

Lovely small juice glasses
February 25, 2018
These tumblers are lovely and sturdy enough to survive my children's not-so-gentle handling. We mix and match these light blue tumblers with the apple green and clear colors. They are beautiful to look at and feel secure in the hand, and are quite affordable, especially if you wait for a sale. One word of warning: as others have noted, do look closely at the size before ordering. These "medium" glasses are tiny! We use them almost exclusively as morning juice glasses and have found the larger Aino Aalto tumbler size to be more versatile.
Cons
I wish these were a little easier to stack...or rather, to un-stack! If they aren't completely dry, or you don't stack gently, it is possible for these glasses to get badly stuck together. We've had to work hard a few times to coax two glasses apart, and once even broke a glass in the process of trying to separate them. That is my only reason for a 4-star review rather than a 5.

They are beautiful to look at and feel secure in the hand, and are quite affordable, especially if you wait for a sale.

They work for our family, but maybe not for those who prefer to use larger drink glasses.

A Modern Classic
April 10, 2016
These glasses pair perfectly with Teema dishes. Two modern classic styles that look as fresh today as when they were first designed. The only note is that if you're looking for a highball-sized glass, these are smaller. More like the size of a double old fashioned glass.

Somehow these just feel "right" in your hand--the right shape, the right weight, the right design. Not too modern, but just modern enough to look fresh. It's amazing how old the design actually is, because they look and feel contemporary. I guess that's what makes them a modern classic.

Water Green; A Beautiful Blue
April 11, 2015
You can read a more extensive review I wrote about these glasses under the Medium Aiio Aalto Glasses. I love both sizes. What I did not mention in the 1st review was that the shipping was great. 1) it was timely. 2) They are packed impeccably. As I am doing a "new kitchen" soon, I have saved all the boxes and packing to use while we live in the "barn" during the building process! I can hardly wait to unpack these for a second time, and display these in the new kitchen.
Pros
The "Water Green" Color- Like Caribbean Blue - to die for!
Size is what I expected
Quality
Shipping was great
By Barb

Beautiful Blue
April 11, 2015
I love this color! I wanted blue glasses, but did not want them to scream "blue". They remind me of the water of the Caribbean.I am getting a new kitchen with open shelving for my dishes and glassware. These are going to look terrific.They seem and feel sturdy. For the time being, I am putting them in the dishwasher - but not allowing them to touch other items.The glasses hold what is listed, however that is to the rim! Don't expect to be serving that amount of liquid in these glasses. Unless you want it to dribble down your shirt, figure that you will be serving an ounce (or more) less. Refills are always available!I purchased 8 of each the medium size (that I will use for juice or wine) and 8 of the large (milk, water, lemonade, etc)I am thrilled with these glasses and I hope to have them a long time.

Love the Glasses, Not the Color
December 13, 2013
I already have 7 of these glasses and love them. I was trying to replace a broken one and thought the color was similar, but I was wrong. I would have preferred more color - these were very washed out. I the name of the color is water green but the glasses I have have a richer amount of color.

April 14, 2013
I've had my glasses for more than 10 years. They are a nice design. They seem to be indestructible and perfect for daily use. They may be small by American standards, but I find that they really are the perfect size for me and my guests. I am hoping to purchase them for my niece to remind her, on a daily basis, of her Finnish heritage. If I had to purchase them, again, I might choose a different color, but the water green is nice and I will continue to live with it.
Pros
Indestructible and nice design
Cons
Maybe clear would have been a better "color" for me

Great glasses!
January 3, 2013
This was a replacement order for us, because we have had the glasses for years and enjoy them. We have them in two sizes, medium and large. I was happy to find FinnStyle because the businesses where we purchased them before are no longer in business. Other manufacturers make similar looking styles, but many have the ribs on the inside, not the outside which is such poor design. These feel good in your hand an against your lips. Iittala did it right.
