Iconic Large Vintage Signed Tapio Wirkkela (19)Stellaria (Ice) Centerpiece Bowl

Measuring 7" across the top and 4 1/2" tall : an iconic piece by Tapio Wirkkala in the 1960's. The essence of the Scandinavian Modern movement. Wirkkala was a Finish designer, scuplture and a major figure of post war design. He has awards and distinctions.

It is incised on the bottom. Trained as a sculptor, he is best known for his clean, modern aesthetic, which became the hallmark of Scandinavian-made decorative and everyday objects.

He often employed natural shapes, such as in his icy 1970 interpretation of the Finlandia vodka bottle. Today Wirkkala's works are prized by museums and collectors, fetching increasingly high prices.
