An enchanting small (1/4) Sun Bottle by Finnish glass designer Helena Tynell. It is made of so called neodymium glass which means that it changes color depending of the wavelength of the light that surrounds it. In 'cold' light it is light blue, and in 'warm' light it turns lilac. See pictures shot under different light and also together with some of our other Sun Bottles.
Glass designer Helena Tynell is perhaps best known for her Sun Bottles (also called ‘Flower bottles’) that were produced 1964-1974 at Riihimäen lasi, in Finland.
The bottles were produced in four sizes: the largest (4/4) is ca 32cm high and the smallest (1/4) is ca 12,5cm high and this fits slightly over 2dl of water. The (3/4) bottle is ca 23cm and (2/4) ca 17cm high.
These decorative vintage bottles produced in several different beautiful colors as well as in clear glass are still very popular objects for interior decoration.
Helena Tynell designed for Riihimäen lasi in Finland from 1946, and later moved to Germany where she designed for Limburg glass factory from 1976.
In 1986 she moved back to Finland after a long career as glass designer, and in January 2016 she passed away at 97 years of age.
