Choosing the vintage glasses closest to your heart

When it’s time to make a toast or spruce up an everyday moment, old drinking glasses take the mood from frumpy to festive in no time. Making your mind up can feel like a feat, but discovering the ultimate vintage wine glasses and vintage water glasses makes all the difference when it comes to the mood of your dining room. Prepare to take a closer look at iconic vintage glasses that have cemented their place in Nordic design history.

Adding intrigue to your breakfast or dinner table, the bubbling pattern of the Pore glass by Nuutajärven lasi is sure to start up a conversation. Developed by the renowned Finnish designer Gunnel Nyman in 1947, the Pore series drinking glass has become a timeless classic that brightens up any setting. The beautifully shaped Pore glass is a perfect example of Nyman’s focus on clear lines, which is also evident in the designer’s enthralling vintage vases.

Distinctive, bold and expressive – Iittala’s Ultima Thule glassware range is without a doubt an integral part of Finnish glass design history. Created in 1968 by Tapio Wirkkala, Ultima Thule was inspired by the raw beauty of Finnish nature and particularly melting ice in Lapland. The captivating surface of the Ultima Thule drinkware collection is the result of relentless work, as Wirkkala and the glassblowers at the Iittala Glass Factory spent nearly a thousand hours to perfect the technique. Fusing relentless innovation and influences from pure Nordic nature, Wirkkala’s iconic Ultima Thule can be found in many modern homes – as well as in Finnair’s business class table setting.

Make the most out of vintage glassware

Creating sophisticated pairings is the perfect finishing touch once you’ve completed your quest for the ultimate vintage glasses. Carefully picked vintage wine glasses look twice as nice when placed next to a vintage carafe – both perched on top of a timeless vintage tray. Whether placed on a used kitchen cart or kept in a stylish vintage vitrine, retro drinking glasses take your interior to a new level of refinement.
