The Savoy Vase designed by Aino and Alvar Aalto was put on display for the 1937 World Fair in Paris. Designed for the Savoy Hotel Restaurant in Helsinki it has gone on to become a kind of short-han] for Finnish modern design.

@tkoola lol yes! I have had them served to me as ice cubes and even mini cheese canapes. I kind of am a bit sick of that shape now.

@lewism I think us all are a bit sick of that shape :). I made (light-hearted) fun of my Russian ex for buying one by saying that she has now graduated to Finnish upper middle-class

@tkoola so true. I have given that vase many times to British relatives over there it means something different. Would never dream of giving it in Finland….too much cultural baggage.
