Arkipelago\" series hourglass taper candlestick holder For Sale

The item is an authentic Iittala \"Arkipelago\" series hourglass taper candlestick holder, a classic piece of mid-century modern Scandinavian art glass.
Designed by the legendary Finnish designer Timo Sarpaneva in the late 1950s/1960s, this heavyweight, mouth-blown glass piece mimics the organic texture of ice and moving water. It features an internal hourglass negative space molded to support a standard taper candle, accented by a characteristic bubbly/crackle interior structure that captures and beautifully refracts light.
