Two vintage whisky glasses from the Ultima Thule series, designed by Tapio Wirkkala for Iittala. The textured glass surface was inspired by melting ice and the Nordic landscape of Finland. Each glass rests on three small glass feet, creating a floating base effect. The series became iconic when Finnair used Ultima Thule glassware in its First Class service in the 1960s.
