- Sur l'oeuvre d'artTwo sizes, clear lead-crystal glass, cut and surface polished Art-objects / sculptures “Sydän” (Heart), model 3557 with steam blown interior.
Designed by famous Finnish artist Timo Sarpaneva in 1953 and executed by Iittala glassworks in 1957. These vases were made in only two sizes so this is a early complete set and also matched in year of production (1957).
Both Heart sculptures are fully marked underneath the base in diamondpen: Timo Sarpaneva – Iittala – 57 (1957).

Timo Tapani Sarpaneva (31 octobre 1926 - 6 octobre 2006) était un designer, sculpteur et éducateur finlandais influent surtout connu dans le monde de l'art pour son travail innovant sur le verre, qui fusionnait souvent les attributs des objets d'art d'exposition avec des désignations utilitaires.
Alors que le verre reste son médium le plus couramment utilisé, il travaille le métal, le bois, les textiles et la porcelaine (chine). Sarpaneva est entrée dans les foyers du monde entier grâce à sa conception industrielle d'articles haut de gamme conçus de manière artistique, notamment des ustensiles de cuisine en fonte et de la vaisselle en porcelaine.
Son travail a été l'un des éléments clés qui ont contribué à lancer la réputation de la Finlande en tant que pionnier du design.
