Timo Sarpaneva
(Finland, 1926-2006)

Timo Sarpaneva, prototypes, 4 bottles, and 6 schnapps glasses, made at the Karhula/Iittala glassworks in 1976.

Timo Sarpaneva designed vodka bottles and schnapps glasses for the Soviet Union, which continued the style of the 1964 Finlandia series. The bottles and glasses have a frosted and icy appearance, and the fonts used on the bottles and packaging are reminiscent of old Russian folk tales. Sarpaneva deliberately chose this graphic design to create a cultural connection..
The vodka bottles are made at the Karhula Glassworks and the "Kalinka" schnapps glasses are made at the Iittala Glassworks. The original package, Euran paperi. 1976.
Height of the bottles c. 25 cm.

Wear due to age and use. Marks and chips. The packages with wear. Two of the schnapps glasses are stuck tightly to the bottles.

Provenance

The collection of the Master Glassmaker Reino 'Reka' Löflund.

Reino 'Reka' Löflund was born in 1926 and at the age of 14 he started as an apprentice at the Iittala glassworks. He blew medicine bottles for the war industry as the youngest blower ever. After the war, he was employed as the master blower at the Iittala glassworks.
Later, Löflund was appointed as Master Glassmaker in charge of the entire production at the Iittala glassworks.
In the 1950s he began working with various glass designers, including Timo Sarpaneva. Reka Löflund developed several techniques and products with Timo Sarpaneva, including the Claritas, Arkipelago and Finlandia series.
