Iittala Claritas

Claritas ring of trajanus 210mm

The mouthblown glass vases in Timo Sarpaneva’s celebrated Claritas collection are unique art objects showcasing Iittala’s superior expertise of art glass design. Instead of using a mould, each Claritas is built by mixing single layers of clear and coloured glass. Sarpaneva achieved the remarkable ’eyes’ effect through his interpretation of an old steam blowing method. This results is an everchanging illusion of patterns inside the layered glass depending on the angle that it’s viewed.

The dimensions of each decorative vase vary depending on the master glassblower, making each Claritas a truly one of a kind showpiece. Claritas Ring of Trajanus combines tall sophistication with dark elegance for striking impact.

Claritas

Every piece from Timo Sarpaneva’s Claritas is a unique work of art. Claritas are created from a highly intricate technique which makes it possible to incorporate air bubbles and “eyes” shaped out of colored glass inside the glass. The air bubbles, layers of colored glass and shapes are taken to their extremes, demanding intimate knowledge of the glass material on the part of glassblowers and polishers.

Claritas are now available in a range of colors that were unimaginable when they were first produced. The height and dimensions of the mouth-blown object vary depending on the fingerprint of the glassblower, making Claritas art pieces truly one-of-a-kind showpieces.
