The process of creating the vase was challenging technically. The present lot, an early example produced by the Karahula workshops (later moved to Ittala in 1949) was created through blowing the molten glass into a hand-formed wooden mould, creating the textured glass surface lost on later examples due to the change from wooden to steel moulds. The top was then cut with a diamond blade and the edges precisely polished to complete the form.
