Story
In the 1970s, Finnish glass designers were obsessed with capturing the rugged, elemental beauty of the Nordic landscape.
Maker / Origin
Humppila was founded in 1952 by three brothers—Jonni, Martti, and Olavi Helander—who were all former glassblowers from the legendary Nuutajärvi works.
Condition & Value
The glass appears clear with no significant clouding or 'sick glass' syndrome. Value is driven by the popularity of Mid-Century Scandinavian glass.
