Vase by Gunnel Nyman from Nuutajärvi

Height 24.5 cm. The vase is signed G. Nyman Nuutajärvi Notsjö, 58. The vase is in very good condition, but has some shadows on the inside. Gunnel Nyman joined Nuutajärvi Glassworks in 1946, just two years before her death in 1948. However, she drew more than 60 designs of household items and art glass. She was very interested in how light was refracted in glass and therefore worked a lot with air bubbles in the glass and the shape of the glass itself. Despite Gunnel Nyman's short career, she was one of the most influential designers in the modern glass movement in Finland.
