Ultima Thule Champagne Glasses (Set of 2) – Tapio Wirkkala

Designed by Tapio Wirkkala in 1968, the Ultima Thule champagne glass is one of Iittala’s most iconic expressions of Finnish design. The textured surface captures the raw beauty of ice and melting snow, inspired by Finland’s northern climate.

Wirkkala spent thousands of hours refining the innovative glassblowing technique used to achieve this distinctive, organic texture—making each glass a small work of art. The name Ultima Thule refers to a legendary far-northern land, said to be buried in ice and snow where the sun never sets, perfectly reflecting the spirit behind the design.

Elegant yet tactile, these 18 cl (6.1 oz) champagne glasses are ideal for celebrations or as a striking addition to any Scandinavian glass collection.
