“Shaped by fire” Glass Vessels by Katerina Krotenko,

Shaped by Fire vases explore material-led creative serendipity, when molten hot glass captures the tiniest details of a momentary structure of burning wood resulting in a unique surface. 

The technique of achieving carbonized wood texture in glass is inspired by Timo Sarpaneva’s Finlandia collection from 1965-71.

Arkipelago Champagne Flutes designed by Timo Sarpaneva for Iittala c. 1980′s

Timo Sarpaneva was a Finnish artist and designer, best known for his elegant glasswork. His Arkipelago champagne flutes were used in Star Trek: The Next Generation as set dressing for certain crew quarters. To my knowledge, these are the only Iittala objects used in TNG, while Iittala glassware was very commonly used in Voyager and Enterprise.
