Iittala Claritas

Claritas 150mm clear/rain/white

Rain

Each mouthblown glass vase in Timo Sarpaneva’s famous Claritas collection is a unique art object showcasing the superior expertise of Iittala’s glass art design. Claritas are built by mixing single layers of clear and coloured glass. Sarpaneva used an old steam blowing method to achieve the remarkable air bubbles and ’eyes’ that distinguish the Claritas. This result in 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. The clear, rain and white Claritas mixes cool colour sophistication and sensuous form 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.
