Ultima Thule Plate – 190 mm (7.48")

Bring timeless Nordic design to your table with the Ultima Thule Plate, part of Iittala’s iconic glassware series created by Tapio Wirkkala. Inspired by the melting spring ice of Northern Finland, the plate features the distinctive textured surface that has made Ultima Thule one of the most recognizable collections in Finnish design.

Introduced in 1968, Ultima Thule showcases Wirkkala’s mastery of glass and his dedication to refining a unique technique in collaboration with the artisans at the Iittala Glass Factory. The range gained international fame when Finnair selected it in 1969 for service on its Helsinki–New York route—a tradition that continues today in Finnair’s Business Class.

This 190 mm (7.48") plate reflects Wirkkala’s belief that the simplest objects often require the most skill to create. Elegant and versatile, it’s ideal for serving appetizers, desserts, or small dishes with a touch of Arctic-inspired beauty.
