iittala Vulpes Red Fox

More about iittala Vulpes Red FoxMeet Vulpes: a Red Fox rich in character and collector value. The imaginative drawings of designer Klaus Haapaniemi are realized in a three-dimensional object with the help of the iittala art glass teams. A challenging process that involves hot and cold working techniques, glass-blowing, grinding, finishing and polishing, the result each time is nothing short of a unique, handcrafted masterpiece. The investment of Vulpes will only increase in value over time, and the piece is beautifully packaged with a signed certificate of authenticity.To Haapaniemi, the fox is an intriguing motif that connects to mythology. “Fox is veiled by a certain mystery, though at the same time they are very common animals.” The fox is portrayed in fairy tales and beliefs in many cultures. The fox outwits its opponents with its superior intellect, reminding the importance of independent thought. In Lapland, it lights up the night sky by a swish of its tail with the northern lights. In Japan, the fox works as messenger and a bringer of light. All of this makes fox a very special animal to explore. “Fox transforms well to a glass object, the fragility and the transformation has both feminine and masculine elements, it is fragile, yet at the same time aggressive material, wild material that we tame. Just like a fox, glass has character.”
