Cheers! 2015 marks the 100th anniversary since Tapio Wirkkala’s birth, and this set of two beer glasses is the perfect commemoration and celebration of his life and works. In classic literature, Ultima Thule is used to reference the furthest possible place in the world. Designed in 1968, the Ultima Thule Glassware similarly references the icy cold reaches of Scandinavia. The unique melting texture of these pieces are achieved through specialized molds, the first of which were made by Wirkkala himself. Iittala Ultima Thule is still loved today by modern and traditional enthusiasts for its timeless quality and charm.
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
From graphic art to banknotes, Finnish-born Tapio Wirkkala's portfolio is a quite arguably one of the most versatile. Still, he is most widely known for his wonderful work with glass. Texture plays a big role in Wirkkala's creative portfolio. His 1952 "Tapio" glassware experiments with air ... More Tapio Wirkkala

Classic with a touch of heritage
November 29, 2023
My mother-in-law is proud of her Finnish heritage and has instilled that pride in my children. When she was first married, they didn't have much money. But every year for Christmas my Father-in-law would give her 2 pieces of the Iittala crystal set. It took many decades to complete but now every year at Christmas and other holidays we sit down to this beautiful place setting. With her inspiration the tradition is being carried on. Every year for Christmas my husband and I give my son 2 pieces of the crystal bar glasses. He loves the size and how solid they are. But he also likes carrying on the family tradition.
Pros
Well made. Solid.

I bought these as a Christmas gift for my sister and her husband. They don't own any Iittala but recognized the great quality and "specialness" of this set. I add to my own Thule collection every year, they're pricey but I consider them heritage pieces.

So pleased! Swedish Mother-inLaw turned me on to this line of glassware. Although the first ones I ordered were smaller than expected, we will use them for a small cocktail or port. These glasses advertised as beer glasses. I will use them for beer and water for a casual meal. They came carefully wrapped and in perfect condition!
Pros
Good size, pleased with timely delivery.

Absolutely Gorgeous! (and handle with care)

These glasses are simply works of art. I unboxed them with a huge smile on my face, washed them, and placed them in my cabinet with pride. They're weighted quite pronouncedly towards the bottom where the glass is thickest. Trust me, get these and prepare yourself for compliments from guests. But one word of caution: handle with care, as there are only three little feet on the bottom of each glass offering support. So, you have to sit them down evenly, not at a tilt.
