Eye Spy ... Iittala Kastehelmi Dewdrop Collection

Kastehelmi Dewdrop Collection by Oiva Toikka for Iittala

Modern with a vintage twist, Iittala's new Kastehelmi (Dewdrop) collection is fresh, fun, and elegant all at once. Oiva Toikka originally came up with the design in 1964 as a solution to camouflage the seam that is created during the pressed glass production process.



Oiva Toikka's design career's 50th anniversary was the catalyst in  bringing this line back into production by Iittala. Toikka is, of course, is the designer behind the Finnish company's line of beautiful hand blown glass birds including my personal favorite: the Barn Owl.

The Kastehelmi collection is available in two different plate sizes and a set of four bowls in clear or apple green glass. Find them on our website by clicking here.

These pieces feel wonderful to touch, as the round beads adorn the surface of the glass in various sizes and patterns. The interior of the dishes are smooth, making them completely functional as well as beautiful. Mix them in with other Iittala pieces as accent dishes, or use the bowls for special candies and the large plate as a platter.
