Markku Salo, Nuutajarvi Juno green vase, 1990s Finland
Vintage glass vase from the Juno series in a vivid, almost electric green, produced by the Iittala glassworks in Finland. Designed in the 1990s by Markku Salo, a designer known for his postmodern approach to form. This piece reflects his ability to merge functional object design with sculptural presence. The cylindrical body is clean and unadorned, but it’s crowned with a wide, rolled rim that adds visual weight and a slightly whimsical twist, characteristic of Salo’s playful touch.
Height is 22 cm. Slight traces of use, please, refer to the photos.
While unmistakably minimalist, the vase's saturated color and confident silhouette make it more than just a container. Whether used for flowers or displayed as a standalone piece, it speaks to a time when Finnish glassmaking was evolving past the strict formalism of midcentury design and into something more expressive.
Ideal for collectors, design historians, or anyone looking to bring a flash of bold, intentional color into a neutral space.
