Helena Tynell's "Pala" vase for Riihimäen Lasi Oy is a legendary example of Finnish glass art from the 1960s. With its distinctive, blocky shape and vibrant yellow-green uranium glass, it is an iconic piece of Scandinavian mid-century design.

The "Pala" series ("Cube") is among Tynell's most famous designs and is highly prized by collectors internationally. The glass impresses not only with its vibrant color but also with its fascinating effect under UV light, when it mysteriously fluoresces.

An authentic vintage object from the traditional glassworks Riihimäen Lasi, telling a story of design history.
