More information

Inför världsutställningen i Paris 1937 vann Alvar Aalto år 1936 en designtävling, utlyst av glasbruket Karhula i Finland med skissen till en vas som han kallade "Eskimoerindens skinnbuxa". De första exemplaren av denna modell blåstes enligt de ritningar som var Alvar Aaltos bidrag till tävlingen. Vaserna, som då kallades för "Aalto-vaser" eller för "Paris Object" fick ett entusiastiskt mottagande.
Modellen blåstes i en träform och tillverkades i klarglas, rio-brunt, azur, grönt och rökfärgat för världsutställningen i Paris 1937 och andra utställningar. Vasen har kommit att kallas "Savoy-vasen" då modellen funnits i Hotel Savoys Bistro i Helsingfors sedan invigningen 1937.
Från 1949 togs tillverkningen över av Iittala där vasen förekommit i produktkataloger med modellnummer 3030.
