During the early 1960s he also explored a series of striking turn-moulded geometric forms. This vase belongs to a small group of designs produced during that period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vase combines a sharply defined profile with a subtle, playful character. Its waisted cylindrical form creates a strong architectural presence, whilst the soft grey hue lends the piece a calm and understated quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design was produced using the turn-mould blown technique, whereby the molten glass gather is rotated within the mould, eliminating seam lines. This process creates a particularly crisp surface and allows the precise geometry of the form to be fully appreciated.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nuutajärvi Notsjö","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58218824630659,"sku":null,"price":175.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0622\/9331\/1702\/files\/vintage-nuutajarvi-notsjo-oiva-toikka-1451-geometric-grey-vase-1960s.jpg?v=1781095456","url":"https:\/\/www.artandutility.co.uk\/products\/oiva-toikka-1451-grey-vase","provider":"Art \u0026 Utility","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
