Aino Aalto Dessert Cups 2778 - Riihimäen Lasi, Finland 1980s - Set of Six

A complete set of six pressed-glass dessert cups designed by Aino Aalto for Riihimäen Lasi. Clear glass that shifts subtly towards blue in certain light, with ridged, conical forms that feel as fresh now as when they were first designed.

Perfectly sized for desserts or fruit - each cup holds 20 cl. On the base, the text Riihimäen lasi Finland Riihimäki is pressed in relief - a detail that’s both practical and visually satisfying. Made in the 1980s, they carry the small irregularities typical of pressed glass, but remain in very good condition overall.

These are the kind of glasses that are easy to live with. Tough enough for regular use, yet with a heritage and design story that adds quiet character to the table. Six pieces together give you a ready-made set that works for family dinners, dinner parties, or simply keeping dessert time a little more special.
