In modern literature, Ultima Thule is used to reference the furthest possible place in the world. Tapio Wirkkala’s Ultima Thule glassware similarly references the icy cold reaches of Scandinavia and the distinct expressive power of Finnish glass. Designed in 1968, Wirkkala’s Ultima Thule contributed to iittala’s national breakthrough and remains a distinctive iittala design.The Ultima Thule stemmed white wine glass has textured sides that reference the northern icy terrain of Scandinavia. 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. 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
I purchased 4 and love them. They’re so pretty. I lost all my Thule and other IItala collections In the Camp Fire in Paradise CA and finally starting my Thule collection again. Only complaint is, the Iittala red dot was missing from one of them. It’s happened to me before ordering from Finnstyle. I wish I could buy 2 stickers so I could complete my stickers on my Thule glasses
Pros
Beautiful
Cons
Iittala sticker missing from one of the glasses. This is the second time it?s happened

I bought four of these beautiful glasses for my wife at our anniversary 25 years ago. Some have been broken, so I replace them as disasters occur. Thank you. We use them for special occasions or for guests.

Wow what service. Received my order within two days. I would order from FinnStyle again and recommend them to everyone. Packaging was excellent. Unless run over by a truck merchandise was not going to get damaged in shipment.
Pros
Love the item. It was a replacement of a broken stemware I purchased in Finland. Perfect size and not delicate so you are afraid to use it. And ok for dishwasher if placed on top shelf. I prefer handwashing but knowing I don't have to is a plus.
