Ittala Marimekko Maribowl style Teal Hobnail Glass Vessel
This item is a cylindrical glass vessel, possibly a candle holder or small vase, featuring a distinctive 'hobnail' or 'bubble' texture across its exterior surface. The glass possesses a soft, seafoam or light teal-blue hue and is transparent. The piece is constructed with a thick, heavy base and straight vertical walls, with the protruding round studs (hobnails) arranged in a precise, repeating grid pattern. The top rim is smooth and slightly rounded, suggesting a machine-finished or high-quality mold process. While it strongly resembles the 'Mariskooli' style often associated with the collaboration between Iittala and Marimekko, this specific cylindrical shape is more characteristic of their 'Kastehelmi' or 'Dewdrop' line, initially designed by Oiva Toikka in 1964. The condition appears to be excellent with no visible cracks, chips, or significant clouding of the glass. The light reflects clearly through the studs, indicating a clean surface and high-quality glass material. There are no maker's marks visible in the photograph, but the uniformity and depth of the glass suggest mid-century modern influence or a late 20th-century production run.
