Key Features

Made in Finland
The Iittala Ultima Thule Tealight Candleholder is a truly Finnish piece, inspired by melting ice in the northernmost region of Finland. The surreal imagery of a subarctic wilderness is important to designer Tapio Wirkkala, who uses it as an inspiration in their work. Use with any tealight to create a warm atmosphere with a hint of frost.

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.
