The unique texture of the glass is created by a time-laboring technique that is created by the molten glass burning the surface of the wooden moulds.

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.

Perfect wine glasses

These wine glasses are unique in design (like rain drops on a window) rather than plain glass. The size of the stem is a great fit for a man or woman’s hand. Finally, these glasses will not break as easily when washed in a dishwasher.

The Ultima Thule Stemmed Red Wine glasses are beautiful and part of a classic collection by Tapio Wirkkala. I gave them as a wedding gift because I have so enjoyed my own Ultima Thule pieces and thought they epitomized the best of Finnish glass.

I have always admired these glasses and am so glad I finally bought them. They arrived quickly and very well packaged. Although they are expensive, they are very sturdy and should last many years.
Pros
Can go into the dishwasher. Stems are relatively short, so they are easy to store in a cabinet.
Cons
Expensive

Stemmed red wine glasses

I had previously purchased some of these to add to my dishes of the same design and after I found out how versatile the size was for other beverages, I purchased more and love using them. My grandchildren enjoy using them too and I don't worry about breakage as they are a bit heavier than many glasses.
