Kastehelmi
Kastehelmi (“dewdrop” in Finnish) draws inspiration from dewdrops glistening like a string of pearls under the morning sun and refers to the circles of delicate bubbles in the pressed glass that give each piece in the collection its distinct character. Originally designed by Oiva Toikka in 1964, the Kastehelmi series was relaunched in 2010. Toikka came up with the idea to use droplets of glass as decoration when trying to find a way to hide joint marks left in the production process. The result was a unique design that features rings of tiny glass bubbles that extend outwards from the center of each piece. The droplet enhanced the optical quality of Iittala’s glass recipe resulting in a glass that is like no other. For over fifty years, Kastehelmi has been a beloved Iittala series.

Finnish design legend, Oiva Toikka, was exploring ways to hide joint marks in glass when he invented the groundbreaking raised droplet design that makes Kastehelmi so distinct. Kastehelmi features rings of delicate glass bubbles designed to resemble strings of dewdrops glistening under the morning sun. Each piece plays with light in a way that truly showcases the reflective beauty of the glass. Iittala’s beloved Kastehelmi collection offers a wide range of versatile, tactile pieces that are both functional and decorative. The clear Kastehelmi jar offers playful storage suited for any interior. Perfect for storing small household items, food, spices or to use as a serving dish. Plastic lid. Great gift idea.
