The "Marski" drinking glasses by Tapio Wirkkala for Iittala embody the clear design language of Finnish modernism of the 1970s. With their harmonious silhouette and striking, slightly recessed base, they combine timeless elegance with high everyday usability – typical of Wirkkala's design philosophy, where function and aesthetics form a unified whole.

Made of high-quality clear glass, the glasses fit comfortably in the hand and are suitable for water, juice, whiskey, or small aperitifs. The minimalist design focuses on the essentials and makes the set a stylish addition to both modern and classic table settings. As a design by one of the most important Finnish designers of the 20th century, the Marski glasses are both design classics and collector's items.
