    Two sizes, clear lead-crystal glass, cut and surface polished Art-objects / sculptures “Sydän” (Heart), model 3557 with steam blown interior.

    Designed by famous Finnish artist Timo Sarpaneva in 1953 and executed by Iittala glassworks in 1957. These vases were made in only two sizes so this is a early complete set and also matched in year of production (1957).

    Both Heart sculptures are fully marked underneath the base in diamondpen: Timo Sarpaneva – Iittala – 57 (1957).

    Timo Tapani Sarpaneva (31 oktober 1926 - 6 oktober 2006) was een invloedrijke Finse ontwerper, beeldhouwer en docent die in de kunstwereld vooral bekend stond om zijn innovatieve werk in glas, waarbij kenmerken van tentoongestelde kunstvoorwerpen vaak werden samengevoegd met utilitaire aanduidingen.

    Terwijl glas zijn meest gebruikte medium bleef, werkte hij met metaal, hout, textiel en porselein (porselein). Sarpaneva heeft huizen over de hele wereld binnengedrongen door zijn industrieel ontwerp van luxe, artistiek ontworpen items, waaronder gietijzeren kookgerei en porseleinen serviezen.
