Key Features

Made in Finland
The Iittala Ultima Thule Pitcher has an ice cold look well-suited to the water, juice or margaritas you'll pour from it. Its unique melting ice pattern came about in 1968 with the evolution of designer Tapio Wirkkala's original carved pattern, which gradually changed as glass burned through the wood mold.

Iittala

In 1881, a small glass factory was founded in the little town of iittala, Finland. Its blown, pressed, polished, painted and etched glass was high quality...but, at least from a design perspective, not highly original. That all changed during the modernism period of the 1930s and 40s, when famed Finnish designers Alvar Aalto and Kaj Franck became involved in iittala glassware design. From there, iittala made the permanent transition from ornate dinner sets to simplified and functional--yet still highly beautiful--glasses, dinnerware, cookware, vases and other decorative home accessories.
