The groundbreaking raised droplet design of Kastehelmi came from legendary Finnish designer Oiva Toikka’s search to find a way to hide joint marks in glass. Kastehelmi (Finnish for “dewdrop”) features rings of glass bubbles that resemble strings of dewdrops glistening under the morning sun. The beloved Kastehelmi collection offers a wide range of playful pieces that are both functional and decorative. Each distinct, versatile piece plays with light, bringing out the reflective beauty of the glass. Delicate yet durable, the simple design of the Kastehelmi vase brings casual sophistication to any interior. The cool grey shade showcases flowers beautifully. Makes a striking centerpiece. A stunning wedding, birthday, anniversary or housewarming gift.
