The waves
The waves of an Aalto vase. Also know as a Savoy vase. This is the iconic Aalto vase or Savoy vase, designed by Alvar Aalto and his wife Aino Marsio in 1936. It was an entry in a design competition for the Karhula-littala glassworks factory, and it's original name was Eskimåkvinnans skinnbyxa (the Eskimo woman's leather breech). The design was inspired by the dress of a Sami woman. But of course, the Sami and Eskimos don't have much in common except the climate maybe.
