Glasses by Iittala, Finland
The founding of the Iittala company is said to date to 1881, when a glass factory was founded by Swede Petrus Magnus Abrahamsson. The first workforce had to be brought from Sweden due to the lack of skilled glassblowers in Finland. /Wikipedia
The lower glass (to the right) is one of a set of six I got from friends when I moved away from home to study, 34 years ago. All six are still intact and often used!
