This association is strengthened by the olive-green glass and deeply punted base, a feature traditionally associated with wine bottles. Wirkkala exaggerates the proportions of this familiar form to create something at once archaic and distinctly modern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA trail of glass applied freely around the bottle's neck forms its principal decorative detail, and gives the design its name, \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e'Rengaskaula'. Below, the deep punt creates a pronounced dome of glass within the base, adding unexpected character to the restrained form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBetter known for his highly organic, textured ‘ice’ glass designs, Wirkkala takes a different approach here. The apparent simplicity of this design places greater emphasis on the rich olive-green hue, offering an appealing example of the designer's less numerous works in coloured glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is particularly successful when displayed with the shorter model 2508.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iittala","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62730267525507,"sku":null,"price":255.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0622\/9331\/1702\/files\/tapio-wirkkala-2507-iittala-glass-finland-1959.jpg?v=1791044281","url":"https:\/\/www.artandutility.co.uk\/products\/tapio-wirkkala-2507-ring-neck-bottle","provider":"Art \u0026 Utility","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
