Iittala Ultima Thule Shot Glass – Tapio Wirkkala Design

A Finnish design glass inspired by ice.

This Ultima Thule shot glass, designed by Tapio Wirkkala, is part of Iittala’s legendary glassware series, whose textured ice pattern was created after more than a thousand hours of mold work. The shot glass is low and sturdy, made of thick glass, and its surface resembles the rough texture of melting ice.

The glass is ideal for a shot, liqueur, or a small aperitif, and at the same time a collectible that tells the story of Finnish design history.
