A striking hand-blown glass pitcher in rich amber, designed by Sirkku Kumela for Kumela Glassworks. With its elegant globe base, tall neck, and sharply curved handle, this piece balances functionality and form in true Finnish modernist style. The warm tone glows beautifully in light, and the shape recalls Kaj Franck’s iconic pitcher — but with its own sculptural softness and flair.
Likely produced in the late 1960s or early 70s, this pitcher showcases the high level of craftsmanship at Kumela: the glass is smooth and luminous, the base is finished with a polished pontil mark, and the proportions feel just right. A rare and desirable collector’s piece, perfect for use or display.
